Leaves from cold-acclimated and from unhardened spinach plants (Spinacia oleracea L.) were subjected to a freezing/thawing procedure in which varying minimum temperatures were reached. Subsequently, the chlorophyll fluorescence induction signal (Kautsky phenomenon) and the light-induced apparent abs
Interstudy differences have been reported in the cryobiology of Hyla versicolor, especially for southern vs. northern populations, although laboratory conditioning likely was a contributing factor. This study measured freeze tolerance and cryoprotectant levels in H. versicolor from a southern popula
## Abstract Freeze tolerance in the frog __Rana sylvatica__ is supported by nonanticipatory mobilization of cryoprotectant (glucose) and redistribution of organ water. Other freezeβtolerant frogs may manifest these responses but differences exist. For example, the gray treefrog __(Hyla versicolor)_
