“Winter survival of cabbage seed crops is limited by the freezing resistance of the lower stem pith tissue”

e1

“The avoidance mechanism involves the formation of ice within the pith tissue at relatively warm temperatures (little undercooling) and the subsequent release of heat of fusion, followed by significant slowing of the freezing rate so that stem temperatures are mitigated against ambient temperatures for several hours”
