Abstract
IT has long been said that in various plant cells there is an apparent correlation between the sugar content and frost-hardiness. Because of the difficulties in artificially introducing the appreciable amount of sugar into the plant cell, direct evidence has not yet been obtained to show whether the increase in sugar content is the main cause of the frost-hardiness in plant cells or not.
