Cold deacclimation in oilseed rape
Freezing tolerance is affected by fluctuating temperatures during winter, progress of vernalization and daylength. Rapacz (pp. 543-549) shows that cold deacclimation is faster and partly irreversible when high day-temperature, lack of vernalization requirement or long days trigger an increase in elongation rate. If not, deacclimation is irreversible and its rate depends on the mean temperature.
