Survival of Plant Tissue at Super-Low Temperatures V. An Electron Microscope Study of Ice in Cortical Cells Cooled Rapidly

摘要

Experiments were carried out with cortical cells in twig bark of mulberry trees in winter in order to clarify the mechanism of survival at super-low temperatures with rapid cooling and rewarming. Attention was given to the relation between the existence of intracellular ice crystals and survival.
