The phrase "a length of cold" is not standard in written English and may be confusing.
It could be used in a poetic or metaphorical context to describe a period or extent of coldness, but it is not commonly used in everyday language.
Example: "After a length of cold that seemed to stretch on forever, spring finally arrived."
Alternatives: "a spell of cold" or "a period of cold".
At a standard vernalization temperature of 5°C, the length of cold required to achieve complete epigenetic silencing varies between A. thaliana accessions and this maps to non-coding cis polymorphisms in FLC (Coustham et al., 2012; Li et al., 2014).
The length of fermentation, and in turn the length of cold conditioning, was strain dependent.
The efficiency of the humidification system was affected by length of cold air deflector, stack height, number of nozzles and duration of humidification.
"There was no difference in both the length of cold symptoms and severity of cold symptoms in children who received either echinacea or placebo for their colds," said James Taylor of the University of Washington, who led the study of 407 children.
Actual forecasts of global warming also indicate that the droughts increase the length of hot (or wet) seasons, L h, with respect to the length of cold (or dry) seasons, L c (IPCC 2013).
Using multivariate analysis we could detect no significant influence of storage temperature or length of cold storage in the biobank within the storage period examined.
In our new submission we now include other accessions and so can clearly show that length of cold period can be separated from the vernalization temperature optimum.
In vernalization-requiring cereals, VRN-1 expression is induced by vernalization, with the level of expression being dependent on the length of cold exposure [ 22].
Apart from genotype variation, the length of cold exposure and treatment temperature also affect the gene expression level that leads to freezing tolerance [ 80].
An understanding of the role of the Cor/Lea genes can be better achieved if the length of cold acclimation and the tissue used for cold acclimation is defined more carefully.
