Description
Most crops are from tropical origin and, consequently, chilling sensitive. However, some tropical plants, are able to augment their chilling tolerance in response to suboptimal growth temperatures. Yet, the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying this response still remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that tomato plants can develop a chilling acclimation response and document the comprehensive transcriptomic and metabolic adjustments leading to the increase in chilling tolerance. Overall design: Transcriptomic profiling through RNAseq of tomato plants exposed to suboptimal growth temperature (10C) for 0, 3, 24 and 48h
