It is known that the redistribution of water and the formation of dispersed water units appears to be a prerequisite for deep supercooling. A concentration of the cell solute results from the migration of water during extracelullar freezing and lowers the temperature of homogeneous nucleation, but we are convinced that nucleation of ice within cells may be initiated by a heterogeneous mechanism, except we consider a small spherical cave, the water can freeze on the wall of this cave. We are also convinced that the solid walls of the capillary exert an external potential on the water molecules, causing the shift of the triple point of the confined fluids. Based on Fletcher's work for spherical particle, we have gotten the formula of critical free energy in the process of heterogeneous nucleation of water in a small spherical cave. This presentation introduces the theoretical background and counts the drop of temperature in heterogeneous nucleation. Then, putting two actions (depression of triple point and process of heterogeneous nucleation) together, we have calculated the freezing point. Sometimes it is lower than –38 °C. Some phenomena can be explained by using this theory: 1) Water is at the tension status, which means that it wets plant tissue, so the triple point (melting point) of tissue water can be lowered. 2) The redistribution of water, formation of dispersed water units, and dry region preventing ice from propagating, all allow heterogeneous nucleation, then the two actions can be synthesized and the water would lead to deep supercooling. If the barriers were destroyed, heterogeneous nucleation and deep supercooling would certainly be lost. 3) This theory is only suited to rigid wall of small cave, so we understand why cell wall rigidity has been shown to affect freezing characteristics.
