Cold acclimation and prospects for cold-resilient crops

Low-temperatures pose extreme challenges to crops causing significant economical impacts. Frosts are responsible for more than 30% of weather-related insured crop losses in some temperate climate jurisdictions, but are particularly devastating for small holdings and communities reliant on a bountifu...

description Low-temperatures pose extreme challenges to crops causing significant economical impacts. Frosts are responsible for more than 30% of weather-related insured crop losses in some temperate climate jurisdictions, but are particularly devastating for small holdings and communities reliant on a bountiful harvest.
