Recrystallisation inhibition (RI) activity has been isolated from cold-acclimated Forsythia suspensa bark and leaves, which is stable when boiled, and not sensitive to reducing agents.
This process, known as cold acclimation, is briey reviewed from the perception of cold, through transduction of the low-temperature signal to functional analysis of cold-induced gene products.
This food may eventually be used by the root itself, but more often the stored food is later mobilized and transported back through the phloem to the above-ground parts of the plant at a time when it is needed.
A & B = initiation of lateral root through repeated local periclinal cell divisions in pericycle. The first stage of the lateral root initiation is the start of meristematic activity and the enlargement of a few initial pericyclic cells ("founder cells").
