Ecophysiology of Antarctic vascular plants
Most of the ice and snow‐free land in the Antarctic summer is found along the Antarctic
Peninsula and adjacent islands and coastal areas of the continent. This is the area where …

Frost resistance mechanisms in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is traditionally grown in the mountain regions of the
Andes where frost is common. However, the physiological mechanisms responsible for the …

Photosynthetic adaptation to polar life: Energy balance, photoprotection and genetic redundancy
The persistent low temperature that characterize polar habitats combined with the
requirement for light for all photoautotrophs creates a conundrum. The absorption of too …

Ecophysiology of Antarctic vascular plants: an update on the extreme environment resistance mechanisms and their importance in facing climate change
Antarctic flowering plants have become enigmatic because of their unique capability to
colonize Antarctica. It has been shown that there is not a single trait that makes Colobanthus …

Thermal tolerance of tropical and temperate alpine plants suggests that 'mountain passes are not higher in the tropics'
Aim Tolerance of species to extreme temperatures largely determines their distribution and
vulnerability to climate change. We examined thermal tolerance in tropical and temperate …
