e0“Increased resistance to chilling, as indicated by the extent of overall reduction in chilling damages, was obtained through pretreatments: application of abscisic acid to the seedlings, withholding of water from the seedlings, and salinization of the root medium.”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Chilling caused cotyledon necrosis and reduced root and shoot growth six days later.
- Intervention effect Abscisic acid pretreatment increased chilling resistance.
- Intervention effect Root-medium salinization increased chilling resistance.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that applied or water-shortage-induced abscisic acid participates in chilling resistance.
