Abstract

We have discovered that overexpression of the gene TsCSDP3 that encodes the cold-shock domain protein from the extremophile plant Thellungiella salsuginea in the test plant A. thaliana considerably improves frost hardiness of the latter, which is promising for use of this gene and, perhaps, of other CDS protein genes in biotechnology of cultivated plants in order to enhance cold stress resistance.
