Researchers Uncovered New Insights on How Plants Survive Cold Climates
Key Points Excess light can damage Photosystem II in plants, with slower repair rates observed in colder conditions. Plants acclimated to cold for three days showed enhanced photoinhibition repair rates. Ecotypes from colder regions demonstrated greater increases in repair capacity. Arabidopsis thaliana was studied under controlled temperatures of 22°C, 12°C,...
