Verbatim
e0“Pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings planted in Hokuriku area in the fall are often covered by snow”
e3“With delayed seeding time in the fall, high water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) concentration in the foliage accompanied by a proportional decrease in plant dry weight before snow cover promoted snow tolerance”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Snow-tolerant pea cultivars were shorter in stature than snow-vulnerable cultivars before snow cover.
- Association Snow-tolerant pea cultivars had lighter foliage than snow-vulnerable cultivars before snow cover.
- Association Snow-tolerant pea cultivars had numerous branches before snow cover compared with snow-vulnerable cultivars.
- Association NSC concentration in cotyledons two to three times higher than in foliage contributed significantly to snow tolerance.
- Association Delayed seeding in fall promoted snow tolerance through high water soluble carbohydrate concentration in the foliage.
- Association Cultivars and late-seeded plants with high NSC in cotyledons showed high snow tolerance.
- Mechanism NSC protecting the overwintering pea seedling under snow is the mechanism of snow tolerance.
