Freezing avoidance by supercooling in Olea europaea cultivars: The role of apoplastic water, solute content and cell wall rigidity

Plants can avoid freezing damage by preventing extracellular ice formation below the equilibrium freezing temperature (supercooling). We used Olea europaea cultivars to assess which traits contribute to avoid ice nucleation at sub-zero temperatures. Seasonal leaf water relations, non-structural carb...
