Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect High light intensity during cold acclimation caused various stress symptoms in chilling-sensitive maize.
- Intervention effect High light intensity during cold acclimation enhanced the effectiveness of acclimation to a subsequent severe cold stress in maize.
- Intervention effect Soluble sugars accumulated more during hardening at relatively high light intensity in maize.
- Association Stress responses in maize were light-dependent in the leaves and also in the roots.
- Observation Differentially expressed genes in maize during cold acclimation were mainly involved in assimilation and metabolic pathways.
- Mechanism Cold and light signalling interact through complex regulation mechanisms in maize.
- Mechanism Low-temperature photoinhibition is suggested to be a necessary evil for cold acclimation processes in maize.
