th We compiled this volume mostly from presentations at the 6
International Plant Cold Hardiness Seminar (PCHS) after consulting
with Professor Tony H. H. Chen, Oregon State University, USA,
Professor Pekka Heino, University of Helsinki, Finland, th and Dr.
Gareth J. Warren, University of London, Surrey, UK. The 6
International PCHS was held at the Unitas Congress Center,
Helsinki, Finland from July 1-5, 2001. There were 110 registered
scientists at the serttinar representing 20 countries: Australia,
Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Gennany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland,
Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States of
America. The infonnation compiled represents the state of the art
of research in phmt cold hardiness in tenns of gene regulation,
gene expression, signal transduction, the physiology of cold
hardiness and, ultimately, the genetic engineering for cold
tolerant plants. The International PCHS was initiated in 1977 at
the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota. It has been
traditionally held at 5-year intervals at various locations. th
Because of the rapid advances of research in plant cold hardiness,
attendees at the 6 meeting unanimously adopted a resolution to hold
the seminar in 3-year intervals instead of 5 in the future.
Consequently, the next seminar will be held in 2004 in Sapporo,
Japan, and Professor Seizo Fujikawa from Hokkaido University will
serve as the host.
