Cold Acclimation in oats and other plants: Dissecting low temperature responses using a comparative genomic approach.
(2009-02-27)Cold acclimation protects plants from temperate regions of the world from the deleterious effects of low and freezing temperatures. This is through a series of transcriptional, regulatory and metabolic changes that enable ... -
In the quest for a cold tolerant variety - gene expression profile analysis of cold stressed oat and rice
(2008-11-14)Cold acclimation is a process which increases the freezing tolerance of an organism, after exposure to low, non-freezing temperatures. The acclimation ensures that cold tolerant species can endure harsh winter conditions, ... -
Interplay between phospholipids and digalactosyldiacylglycerol in phosphate limited oats
(2009-03-09)Phosphate is an essential nutrient. In most soils it is limiting, which has resulted in that phosphate is supplied as fertilizer to increase crop yield. Through evolution, plants have adapted several mechanisms to increase ... -
Mutagenesis and transcriptome mapping in oat and characterization of high β-glucan lines
(2013-04-25)Oat (Avena sativa) is a hexaploid crop that is cultivated in Europe, North America, Russia, Australia and northern China. During recent years, oat has seen increased interest due to its potential as a functional food crop. ... -
Unravelling the complexity of cold acclimation in plants
(2011-05-19)Many plants respond to low non-freezing temperatures by increasing their freezing tolerance in a process known as cold acclimation. Microarray studies have shown that hundreds of genes are differentially expressed during ...
