Abstract:
The effects of low temperatures on chilling sensitivity and frost hardiness were investigated in leaf tissues of the tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). A regime of 20°/15°C (day/night) temperature reduces chilling sensitivity. Subsequently, plants were able to survive at 5°, 2°, and even 0° (day/night) for cold acclimation. Using these stepwise treatments, leaf tissues of ‘Early Cascade’ tomato could be cold-acclimated to tolerate extracellular freezing at -3°, whereas nontreated plants were killed at -1.5°.
