The impact of global climate change on the freezing tolerance of winter cereals in Western Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Due to global climate change in Western Canada, winter cereals will be exposed to a higher frequency of winter thaws which will increase crown water and thereby reduce freezing tolerance. Cold‐acclimated winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and fall rye (Secale cereale L.) were held at −4°C under a snow cover for up to 120 days and periodically subjected to a dry or wet thaw for 3 days. Freezing tolerance was monitored by either the conventional freezing test (LT50) or the durational freeze test (LD50). There was a gradual loss in LT50 and LD50 in crowns held at −4°C, with the greatest loss after 120 days. The LT50 test could only identify species differences in freezing tolerance whereas LD50 identified cultivar‐specific differences. Rehardened plants previously subjected to a 4°C dry thaw regained an LT50 comparable to non‐thawed plants. Whereas plants exposed to a wet thaw could only partially reharden. The more freezing tolerant fall rye cultivars maintained a lower LT50 under thawing and rehardening conditions as compared with winter wheat. A short winter thaw dramatically reduced crown freezing tolerance. The selection of superior germplasm to tolerate warming winter conditions is an important goal for future winter wheat breeding efforts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
