  • COLD TOLERANCES IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20030022371
    Abstract: A plurality of polypeptides derived from intercellular spaces of plant cells having frost tolerance. Some of the polypeptides are ice nucleators for developing ice crystals in extracellular spaces of plant tissue, some of the polypeptides are antifreeze components which control ice crystal growth in extracellular spaces and some of the polypeptides are enzymes which adapt plant cell walls to function differently during formation of ice crystals in plant intercellular spaces.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 27, 1999
    Publication date: January 30, 2003
