Chilling injury and the control thereof in selected Leucadendron cultivars
… compromise as long-term cold storage can lead to chilling injury in susceptible ornamental Cape Flora species, selections, and cultivars. The development of chilling injury symptoms has a detrimental impact on the commercial value of the Cape Flora stems, rendering them unmarketable. A study was …

Cold hardiness studies of bermudagrass and Paspalum vaginatum Sw.
… fall through winter to spring. The degree of injury of samples subjected to low temperature in the laboratory was estimated via conductivity measurements. The field study related closely to laboratory analyses. There were significant differences between cultivars with respect to cold …

Effect of cultivar, storage, cooking method and tissue type on the ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin B6 content of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.)] Lam
… months of storage. Exposure of sweetpotatoes to chilling injury temperatures of 1 °C and 6 °C for 2 or 4 weeks did not result in consistent changes in AA, thiamin, and riboflavin. However, transfer of the low temperature-stored roots to 14 °C for an additional 7 days generally resulted in AA …

Mechanisms Underlying Variation in Insect Chill Tolerance: The Role of Ion and Water Transport
… in the cold likely contributes to chronic chilling injury, and reestablishment of homeostasis is required for recovery from chilling. Both plastic and interspecific variation in cold tolerance correlates with enhanced defense of water and ion homeostasis during cold exposure, however the …

Survival and chemical control of Cylindrocladium spp. inciting root rot of black walnut seedlings
… at 6 C and 26 C for 4 wk indicated that chilling injury may account, in part, for decreased germinability of microsclerotia. Direct observation of washed conidia of C. scoparium on rewetted, non-sterile soils at 26 C indicated that peak germination (33-58%) occurred after 24 h incubation. …

Exploring the genetic mechanisms underlying superficial scald development and prevention in apple fruit during postharvest storage.
… can also trigger the occurrence of typical chilling injury related disorders. Among all the physiological disorders, superficial scald is one of the most challenging, causing discoloration and skin browning triggering therefore consumers unacceptance. The development of superficial scald in …
