Unpredictable temperature fluctuations, especially drops, are a common phenomenon in the temperate climate zone. Cold stress, which includes chilling (0-15 °C) and freezing (below 0 °C), is one of the most harmful abiotic factors limiting the growth and yield of many plants. Particularly sensitive to such temperature changes are thermophilic plants cultivated in our climate zone, including the common cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).
