Abstract
IN the U.S.S.R., where autumn-sown cereals may experience temperatures so low as 20° C., or a covering of snow for two or three months, winter hardiness, and particularly frost resistance, is an important aspect of crop studies. A recent publication of the Institute of Plant Industry (Bull. App. Bot., Genetics and Plant Breeding, No. 6, Series 3, Leningrad, 1935) is devoted to contributions on this subject, some of these coming from the Winter Resistance Laboratory of the Institute; adequate English summaries are provided.
