DEF

Mecanismo de defensa contra el congelamiento [...] se trata de un proceso por el cual el agua [contenida en la planta] no solidifica en cristales, sino en un vidrio amorfo.

CONT

La vitrificación ocurre naturalmente en varios sistemas de plantas, especialmente en la madera y algunas semillas. En estas se preservan las semillas maduras mediante la combinación de deshidratación junto a una elevación de los azúcares, con lo que se crean las condiciones necesarias para la formación de vidrio.
