Cover illustration: The inset cover photograph shows a cross-section of a Norway spruce vegetative bud. The lines indicate water movement between the primordial shoot and bud cavity during freezing and thawing. The freezing point of primordial shoots is affected by dehydration and rehydration by extra-organ freezing and thawing, respectively. See Räisänen et al. (pp. 593–599).
