Cold Hardiness in Plants: Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology and Phsiology. 2005. 288 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

Based on the papers from the 7th International Plant Cold HardinessSeminar held in Japan in 2004, this book presents the latest research findings on plant freezing and chilling stress from major laboratoriesaround the world. The chapters focus on various aspects of molecular genetics and the utilization of transgenic plants to further ourunderstanding of plant cold hardiness at the molecular level. Topicscovered include vernalization genes in winter cereals, global analysisof gene networks to solve complex abiotic stress responses, control ofgrowth and cold acclimation in silver birch and the effect of plasmamembrane-associated proteins on acquisition of freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.
