“…Many climatic factors can induce cold hardiness of plants. Low temperature itself is important in inducing hardiness in pine (Aronsson and Eliasson 1970) and in apple (Chandler 1913). Short days induce cold hardening in pine (Aronsson and Eliasson 1970), in apple (Howell and Weiser 1970) and dogwood (Weiser 1970).…”

Cold hardiness of pine needles and apple bark was determined in a series of experiments. Plants were exposed to 0°C and 20°C and exposed to day length conditions of 9 and 14 h. All 16 possible combinations were investigated by transfer of the plants from the original condition to each of the other conditions. In order to interpret the results, it was necessary to distinguish between a single and a dual environmental factor change. In pine plants at 20°C, a change in two factors decreased cold hardiness contrary to a single change in temperature or day length. In plants at 0°C, the effects of a change in day length and temperature were additive. Differences in pine and apple are discussed in relation to natural conditions and to geographical distribution. It is suggested that for increased hardiness shortening of day length should precede a low temperature regime and that reversal of this order may upset the signal system, resulting in dehardening.

“…Maximov (1929), however, contended that the increased solute concentration influenced freezing resistance in some other manner. Chandler (1913), and in a very similar fashion, Akerman (1927) elaborated on this view and detailed the influence of solutes on reducing the extent of ice formed at any particular subzero temperature. At subzero temperatures, the water potential of the intracellular solution will equilibrate with that of the partially frozen ex~ ternal solution which will be determined by the subzero temperature.…”

“…The most comprehensive analysis of this was presented by Chandler (1913), in which the influence of cold acclimation, withholding water, and irrigating with various salt and sugar solutions on low temperature survival was considered in an extensive array of horticultural plants. Similarly, Rosa (1921) observed that the increase in cold hardiness of cabbage elicited by low temperatures could also be obtained by insufficient watering or introduction of salt solutions to the soil, and Whiteside (1941) increased the desiccation tolerance of several wheat cultivars by either drought or cold hardening.…”

“…But the detrimental effects of such frosts on the immature pollen were not determined. Chandler ( 1913) in Missouri observed that when peach blooms were subjected to a temperature of 24°F they suffered light to medium frost kill while apple blooms suffered a 75% kill. Frost kill of the pollen varied with the variety: Jonathan apple was more resistant to frost than the Rome Beauty (Lommel and Green 1930).…”
