Figure Lengend Snippet: Steps involved in the LT 50 freezing test. Seeds were nucleated with shaved ice at -2 °C and the temperature was subsequently lowered at the rate of 2 °C for one hour. Samples were removed at various temperatures, thawed overnight at 2 °C, and then placed into a germination chamber at 23 °C in the dark.
