Summary
The eskimo1 (esk1) mutation of Arabidopsis resulted in a 5.5°C improvement in freezing tolerance in the absence of cold acclimation. Here we show that the increase in freezing tolerance is not associated with any increase in the ability to survive drought or salt stresses, which are similar to freez...
