Nucleotide sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby useful for modifying plant characteristics in response to cold

Methods and materials for modulating cold tolerance levels in plants are disclosed. For example， nucleic acids encoding cold tolerance-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased cold tolerance levels and plant products produced from plants having increased cold tolerance levels.

本公开披露了用于调控植物耐寒性水平的方法与材料。例如，本公开还披露了编码耐寒性调控多肽的核酸，以及利用此类核酸转化植物细胞的方法。此外还披露了耐寒性水平提升的植物，以及由该类耐寒性提升植物所制备的植物产品。
