Abstract

This proposal follows up the novel observation of second phase cold hardening in Arabidopsis thaliana. Second phase hardening is an important process in winter cereals; that process (and the greater levels of freezing tolerance that it engenders) will become amenable to more rapid molecular dissection if they can be studied in Arabidopsis. The proposed research aims to permit this by obtaining a more complete description of second- phase hardening in Arabidopsis: the incremental change in freezing tolerance will be quantified, and its dependence on environmental factors will be determined.
