+ | <h5>With an ever-growing world population, having sustainable, reliable crops for food | ||
+ | production is becoming more important than ever. However, every year millions of dollars’ worth of produce is | ||
+ | damaged, lost or never produced as a result of frosts. Frost causes the new tips and buds to be damaged due to the | ||
+ | formation of ice crystals within the tissues, rupturing cells. As a result, new plant and fruit growth are severely | ||
+ | inhibited. Despite promising research into frost resistance mechanisms, the majority of producers still utilise costly, | ||
+ | and often ineffective, traditional methods of frost avoidance.</h5> | ||
