The following gene class has been added to GrainGenes, based on the information in the Wheat Gene Catalogue (WGC). This includes all genes, along with any associated alleles, references, loci, germplasm sources:
Frost tolerance or resistance is the ability of a plant to survive freezing temperatures, and is an important part of winter hardiness. A lack of frost resistance is considered as a major factor limiting cultivation of winter wheat (Wurschum et al., 2017).

Frost resistance genes at Komugi
