Abstract
Superimposed Amplified Exotherm Differential Thermal Analysis System is presented as a system used for detecting low-temperature exotherms of excised dormant flower buds. This system uses thermistors that do not penetrate the tissue and a liquid freezing medium for more uniform temperatures between the sample and reference. A test chamber is presented that can be used with a nonprogrammable freezer. Tests with Forsythia flower buds indicate 2 exotherms, the second of which is associated with a dramatic loss of tissue viability.
