Roles of plant soluble sugars and their responses to plant cold stress (2009, background): “Subsequently, it was detected that sfr4, alone among the mutants, showed levels of freezing tolerance similar to those of wild-type (WT) plants when grown at ambient temperatures but, unlike WT plants, underwent a reduction in its Suc and Glc contents, in contrast to the increase shown by wild type ”
Desiccation sensitivity and tolerance in the moss Physcomitrella patens: assessing limits and damage (2010, background): “These types of membrane damage arise when membranes are brought into close apposition during cellular dehydration (Koster and Bryant 2006) and are often seen in cells damaged by freezing, when extracellular ice draws water out of cells (Steponkus et al. 1993; Uemura and Steponkus 2003 ).”
What happens in plant molecular responses to cold stress? (2010, background): “In addition to lipid composition alterations, sucrose and other simple sugars (Thomashow 2001; Uemura and Steponkus 2003; Yano et al. 2005) and proteins such as dehydrins (such as ERD 14) (Uemura et al. 2006) and lipocalins (Charron et al. 2005; Uemura et al. 2006) accumulate at the plasma membran”
