Abstract
The mechanism to suppress the growth of ice crystals due to the sugar stored in plant cells at low temperature was experimentally investigated. By precisely observing the morphological change of ice crystals, it was found that there existed three mechanisms to suppress the growth rate of ice crystals growing in sucrose solution, depending on supercooling and sucrose concentration.
