Our new paper, led by former postdoc Ian Willick, evaluates the physiological mechanisms underlying cold acclimation and freezing tolerance #evolution in #switchgrass.

"Cold acclimation threshold induction temperatures of switchgrass ecotypes grown under a long and short photoperiod"

The research was funded by the #DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and open access fees paid by Michigan State University.
