Conifer Cold Hardiness pp 57–88Cite as

Cold Acclimation and Deacclimation of Shoots and Roots of Conifer Seedlings

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Tree Physiology ((TREE,volume 1))

Abstract

Conifers that are adapted to grow in regions where marked annual temperature changes are observed have developed physiological mechanisms that enable them to alternate their growth and rest periods in phase with the climate, so they exhibit a strong periodicity in cold hardiness. Cold acclimation is the transition from a non-hardy state to a hardy one. It is a complex physiological process that enables plant tissues to become tolerant to extracellular freezing, duration of cold and also to temporal thawing (Levitt 1980). The annual growth rhythm of trees and the ability to cold harden are determined genetically (Weiser 1970) but are controlled by environmental cues (Levitt 1980).
