The Relationships between Plant Developmental Traits and Winter Field Survival in Rye (<i>Secale cereale</i> L.)

Overwintering cereals accumulate low temperature tolerance (LTT) during cold acclimation in the autumn. Simultaneously, the plants adjust to the colder season by making developmental changes at the shoot apical meristem. These processes lead to higher winter hardiness in winter rye varieties (<i&...
