| Research Abstract |
Plants do not move after germination. However, they have acquired several capabilities to stand upon stresses in environment during their evolution. Winter season is very severe for plants. In the temperate zone, the temperature is lower than zero degree. In such subzero temperature, water is frozen in plant, which gives lethal damage upon plants. This study revealed a new molecular mechanism to stand upon freezing with repairing the ruptured the plasma membrane of cells.
