The experiments were conducted with Cucumis sativus L., Triticum aestivum L., Brassica capitata, Solanum tuberosum, Zea mays L. and Pisum sativum L. Temperature drop increased cold resistance in all studied species. Level of cold resistance under the drop treatments was much higher than under the constant low temperature. It remained at a higher level for a longer period during de-acclimation. It is concluded that DROP technology is a good way for successful transplantation of greenhouse agricultural and bedding plants in early spring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
