Study Notes
Effects of Low Temperature on Plants
- Plant death occurs due to freezing of cell sap.
- Low temperature causes damage to roots, blossoms, and stems.
- Winter cabbage is prone to rotting when exposed to low temperatures.
- Biennial vegetables such as celery, beets, cabbage, and carrots will bolt (produce seeds) instead of forming heads if exposed to 10 °C or lower for 5-6 weeks in the first season.
- Carrots may develop poor color due to low temperatures.
