Plant Growth Regulators and Low Temperature Stress

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Development III

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 11))

Abstract

Plants respond to temperature stresses in a bewildering variety of ways. The extent to which hormones are involved in these responses is still under active investigation. The practical benefits to be wrought from a more complete understanding of this interrelationship are potentially great since even partial alleviation of crop damage due to chilling and freezing would result in greater production and, ultimately, more people being fed.
