Cold physiology

  1. Ice formation in intercellular spaces in plants occurs at:
    • (a) 4 to 0 °C
    • (b) 0 to -3 °C
    • (c) -3 to -6 °C
    • (d) -6 to -9 °C

  2. Following are the statments about cold stress in plants
    • (a) Heat shock proteins are involved in the freezing tolerance.
    • (b) Some bacteria increase frost damage to the plants.
    • (c) More is the unsaturated fatty acid in the membrane, less will be the chilling tolerance of palnts.
    • (d) Gradual cooling to freezing temperature in plant is less harmful than quick freezing.

    Which statement is true:

    • (a)a, b, c
    • (b)b, c, d
    • (c)a, b, d
    • (d)a, c, d

  3. Following are the statments about heat stress in plants
    • (a) C3 plant are more sensitive to heat stress than C4 plants.
    • (b) Heat Shock proteins prevent protein misfolding during heat stress.
    • (c) Acclimation againts heat stress accumulates more saturated fatty acids in the membrane.
    • (d) Presence of reflective hairs increase the heat stress in plants.

    Which statement is true:

    • (a)a, b, c
    • (b)b, c, d
    • (c)a, b, d
    • (d)a, c, d

  4. Sodicity in the soil is caused by:
    • (a) Na+
    • (b) Mg2+
    • (c) Ca2+
    • (d) SO2-
