Changes in LT50 and carbohydrate levels in response to cold acclimation were monitored in vitro and in vivo in red raspberry ( Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars with different levels of cold hardiness. Entire micropropagated plantlets or shoot tips from 3 cultivars were harvested before, during and after cold acclimation. Cane samples from container-grown plants of 4 cultivars were harvested before and during cold acclimation and deacclimation. Samples were evaluated for cold hardiness (LT50) by controlled freezing, then analyzed for carbohydrates, including starch, sucrose, glucose, fructose and raffinose. Hardiness of cold-acclimated 'Muskoka' and 'Festival' was superior to that of 'Titan' or 'Willamette'. In vitro plantlets had higher levels of soluble carbohydrates on a dry weight basis and higher ratios of sucrose:(glucose+fructose) than the container-grown plants. Total soluble carbohydrates, primarily sucrose, accumulated during cold acclimation in both plantlets (33–56% relative increase) and plants (143–191% relative increase). Sucrose increased 124–165% in plantlets and 253–582% in container-grown plants during acclimation and declined rapidly to the level of control plants during deacclimation. Glucose and fructose also accumulated, but to a lesser extent than sucrose. Raffinose concentrations were very low, but increased significantly during cold acclimation. In vitro, genotype hardiness was related to the high concentrations of total soluble carbohydrates, sucrose and raffinose. In vivo, hardier genotypes had lower concentrations of starch than the less hardy genotypes. These results demonstrated the importance of soluble carbohydrates, especially sucrose, in cold hardening of red raspberry and that the in vitro conditions or controlled acclimation conditions do not necessarily reflect the phenomena observed in vivo.  相似文献

Summary Exogenously applied abscisic acid (ABA) induced frost hardening of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. The freezing tolerance of A. thaliana plantlets treated with ABA (15 mg/l) at a non-acclimating temperature (20 °C) appeared to increase even more rapidly than following a low temperature (4 °C) acclimation. Analysis of in vivo-labelled soluble proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed several low temperature — or ABA — induced proteins, which where not produced in non-acclimated plants. A subset of these proteins was induced by both low temperature and ABA treatments, suggesting that they might be directly involved in the frost hardening process in A. thaliana.  相似文献

The effect of oryzalin (a specific inhibitor of tubulin polymerization in plant cells) on water retention by the leaves and roots of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings was studied. The cultivars differing in their frost resistance were compared after their acclimation to low temperature (3°C for 3 or 7 days) and after treatment with ABA. In control untreated plants, oryzalin reduced the water-retaining capacity (WRC) of leaves and roots. Both hardening and ABA lowered the effect of the inhibitor on WRC in leaves, whereas their effects on water retention by roots were opposite, i.e., hardening weakened and ABA intensified the effect of oryzalin. Oryzalin-induced reduction of WRC decreased in the following sequence of cultivars: weakly frost resistant moderately frost resistant highly frost resistant. It was more pronounced in the leaves than in the roots, the latter being characterized by the lower WRC and lower frost resistance. After three-day-long hardening of plants, an additive effect of hypothermia and ABA on oryzalin-induced decrease in WRC of leaves and the lack of such effect in the roots were observed. The immunochemical analysis of the composition and content of cytoskeletal proteins with Western blotting showed that in the leaves the actin/tubulin ratio was higher than in the roots. The treatment of nonacclimated plants with ABA lowered the content of - and -tubulins and actin in roots but did not affect the level of actin in leaves. Hardening negated the effects of ABA on cytoskeletal proteins. Oryzalin produced the greatest inhibitory effect on WRC and an increase in frost resistance in ABA-treated plants in the experiments with leaves of the weakly frost resistant cultivar before and after hardening. Organ- and cultivar-specific and ABA-mediated dependence of WRC on cytoskeletal proteins and microtubules and microfilaments formed by them is supposed to result from their effect on the state of intracellular water and water permeability of the plasma membrane. In the course of cold acclimation of plants and upon their treatment with ABA, this dependence was more distinctly expressed in leaves than in roots, and especially in the plants of the weakly frost resistant cultivar.  相似文献

In the present study the cold acclimation potential of two accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated. Significant variation was found for basic tolerance as well as the capacity to acclimate to freezing temperatures. During cold acclimation, levels of soluble sugars increased in both genotypes, but raffinose accumulation discriminated the more tolerant accession Col‐0 from C24. Concentrations of other compatible solutes such as proline and glutamine were also higher in cold‐acclimated Col‐0 than C24 plants. Changes of invertase activity during cold exposure corresponded to changes in sucrose and fructose, but not glucose concentrations and were consistent with an initial chilling response and a later decline in hexose metabolization. When vacuolar invertase was suppressed by siRNA expression, reduced sucrolytic activity resulted in elevated leaf sucrose concentration, whereas the fructose content was strongly reduced. This led to elevated freezing tolerance in the cold‐tolerant genotype Col‐0, but not in C24. The most pronounced metabolic changes in invertase‐inhibited Col‐0 plants occurred for proline and glutamine concentrations, indicating indirect metabolic effects of altered sugar concentrations.  相似文献

Winter freezing damage is a crucial factor in overwintering crops such as the octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) when grown in a perennial cultivation system. Our study aimed at assessing metabolic processes and regulatory mechanisms in the close-related diploid model woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) during a 10-days cold acclimation experiment. Based on gas chromatography/time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (GC/TOF-MS) metabolite profiling of three F. vesca genotypes, clear distinctions could be made between leaves and non-photosynthesizing roots, underscoring the evolvement of organ-dependent cold acclimation strategies. Carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, photosynthetic acclimation, and antioxidant and detoxification systems (ascorbate pathway) were strongly affected. Metabolic changes in F. vesca included the strong modulation of central metabolism, and induction of osmotically-active sugars (fructose, glucose), amino acids (aspartic acid), and amines (putrescine). In contrast, a distinct impact on the amino acid proline, known to be cold-induced in other plant systems, was conspicuously absent. Levels of galactinol and raffinose, key metabolites of the cold-inducible raffinose pathway, were drastically enhanced in both leaves and roots throughout the cold acclimation period of 10 days. Furthermore, initial freezing tests and multifaceted GC/TOF-MS data processing (Venn diagrams, independent component analysis, hierarchical clustering) showed that changes in metabolite pools of cold-acclimated F. vesca were clearly influenced by genotype.  相似文献

Phospholipid Involvement in Frost Tolerance   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Changes in frost tolerance and in phospholipid content were studied in the leaves of winter rape plants (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera L. cv. Górczański) grown under natural or artificially controlled conditions. Frost hardening was found to be a three-stage process. During the first stage, occurring at low but above freezing environmental temperatures, phospholipid changes do not seem to be directly related to the leaf frost tolerance. This stage of hardening is possibly related to a metabolic shift caused by the cessation of growth. The achievement of the second level of frost tolerance in the fully turgid leaves depends on the occurrence of sub-freezing temperature and is related to increase in phospholipid level. It was shown that freezing brought about phospholipid degradation which was reversible only in slightly injured leaves with a relatively high phospholipid content. The third stage of hardening is related to frost-induced dehydration of the cells and may overlap the second one.  相似文献

The influence of temperature and photoperiod on raffinose synthesis in spruce roots (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) was investigated under controlled environmental conditions in a phytotron. The raffinose content of the roots increased when the plants were subjected simultaneously to a change from long to short days and from summer-like day and night temperatures to a climate which was more than 10° C colder. Only a very slight raffinose accumulation resulted from a change of day-length or temperature alone, but a subsequent additional change of temperature or daylength, respectively, caused an increase in the raffinose content, yet only to half the amount found when both climate factors changed simultaneously. When the shoot was left under non-inducing conditions, but the root was cooled, the raffinose content increased in the root, but not in the shoot. The root was also capable of inducing raffinose if the shoot was cut off after a few days of cold adaptation of the whole plant. For all climate changes the sucrose content changed much less than the raffinose content. Induction of raffinose was comparable in mycorrhizal and in non-mycorrhizal roots.Abbreviations DW dry weight - LDC long day, cold - LDW long day, warm - SDC short day, cold - SDCLL short day, cold, low light - SDF short day, frost - SDW short day, warm This research was supported by the Bundesamt für Bildung und Wissenschaft and by the Swiss National Science Foundation.  相似文献

Mass increases in raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs, α 1,6-galactosyl extensions of sucrose) are well documented in the generative tissues of many plants upon cold acclimation, and they (i.e. mainly the two shortest RFO members, raffinose and stachyose) have been suggested as frost stress protectants. Our focus here was on the longer RFO members as they commonly occur in the frost-hardy evergreen labiate Ajuga reptans in its natural habitat, and accumulate to their highest concentrations in winter when the plant is faced with sub-zero temperatures. We examined the effects of RFO concentration and chain length on frost tolerance using excised leaves which accumulate long-chain RFOs under both cold and warm conditions, thereby uncoupling the acclimation temperature from RFO production. We demonstrated that frost tolerance in excised A. reptans leaves correlates positively with long-chain RFO accumulation under both acclimation temperatures. After 24 d post-excision in the warm, the leaves had increased their RFO concentrations (mainly long-chain RFOs) 22-fold to 78 mg g−1 fresh weight, and decreased their EL50 values (temperature at which 50% leakage occurred) from −10.5 to −24.5 °C, suggesting a protective role for these oligosaccharides in the natural frost tolerance of A. reptans .  相似文献

An almost twofold increase in abscisic acid (ABA) content was observed in the leaves of winter oilseed rape plants (Brassica napus L., var. oleifera L., cv. Jantar) grown in the cold (>0°C). This ABA increase took place during the first three days of cold treatment. After 6 days of plant growth in the cold, the level of ABA started to decline or remained constant, depending on the calculation basis: dry weight or disc area units, respectively. The exposure of cold-acclimated plants to night frost (–5°C for 18 h) induced a further increase (65%) in the ABA level, which begun during the first few hours after thawing. The comparison of time courses of frost resistance increments and ABA content changes showed that modifications of ABA level in the cold-treated leaves preceded those of frost resistance, whereas in the frost-pretreated tissues the ABA increase occurred later than that of frost tolerance. Possible interrelations between ABA content, frost tolerance and tissue water potential modifications in the low temperature-affected tissues are discussed.  相似文献

A cell-suspension culture obtained from the hybrid Eucalyptus gunnii/Eucalyptus globulus was hardened by exposure to lower temperatures, whereas in the same conditions cells from a hybrid with a more frost-sensitive genotype, Eucalyptus cypellocarpa/Eucalyptus globulus, were not able to acclimate. During the cold exposure the resistant cells accumulated soluble sugars, in particular fructose and sucrose, with a limited increase in cell osmolality. In contrast, the cell suspension that was unable to acclimate did not accumulate soluble sugars in response to the same cold treatment. To an extent similar to that induced after a cold acclimation, frost-hardiness of the cells increased after a 14-h incubation with specific soluble sugars such as sucrose, raffinose, fructose, and mannitol. Such hardening was also observed for long-term cultures in mannitol-enriched medium. This cryoprotective effect of sugars without exposure to lower temperatures was observed in both the resistant and the sensitive genotypes. Mannitol was one of the most efficient carbohydrates for the cryoprotection of eucalyptus. The best hardiness (a 2.7-fold increase in relative freezing tolerance) was obtained for the resistant cells by the cumulative effect of cold-induced acclimation and mannitol treatment. This positive effect of certain sugars on eucalyptus freezing tolerance was not colligative, since it was independent of osmolality and total sugar content.  相似文献

Experiments performed under controlled conditions showed that level of PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) during early seedlings growth (preceding cold acclimation at +2 °C) was not the key factor for the development of frost resistance. It did not modify the beneficial effects of prehardening (Rapacz 1997, in this issue) at moderately low (+12 °C) day temperature. Now I have shown that the increase of PPFD may replace to some extent prehardening in the development of frost resistance. It was particularly seen in non-prehardened plants, which had been grown under warm-day (+20 °C) conditions. Prehardening performed under controlled conditions, as well as seedlings growth under natural autumn conditions in the field, allowed to maintain a high net-photosynthesis rate at chilling temperatures. A net-photosynthesis rate during cold acclimation at +2 °C corresponded well with higher frost resistance. As a result, seedlings non subjected to prehardening and grown before cold acclimation under low PPFD acclimated better, if the cold treatment was applied only at nights (+20/2 °C day/night). Only under such conditions the photosynthetic rate was sufficiently high to allow plants to reach a higher level of frost resistance. All other plants acclimated better when they were exposed to the hardening temperature continuously during days and nights (+2/2 °C day/night).  相似文献

As observed for most stresses, tree frost resistance can be split into two main processes: avoidance and tolerance. Avoidance of freezing is achieved by introducing species only in the climatic context in which the probability of freezing events is very low for the sensitive stages of buds or stems; i.e., when good synchronism exists between the annual cycle and the critical climatic periods. Buds become able to grow only after chilling requirements have been satisfied (endodormancy released) during winter; they subsequently break after heat requirements have been completed (end of ecodormancy) in early spring. Actually, this period is often subject to more or less severe freezing events. Trees are also able to adjust their freezing tolerance by increasing their capacity of extracellular freezing and decreasing the possibility of intracellular freezing through the process of frost acclimation. Both freezing resistance processes (avoidance and tolerance) are environmentally driven (by photoperiod and temperature), but there are also genotypic effects among species or cultivars. Here, we evaluated the degree to which differences in dormancy release and frost acclimation were related to environmental and genetic influences by comparing trees growing in common garden conditions. This investigation was carried out for two winters in lowland and mountain locations on different walnut genotypes differing significantly for budburst dates. Chilling requirement for endodormancy release and heat requirement during ecodormancy were evaluated in all situations. In addition, frost acclimation was assessed by the electrolyte leakage method on stems from the same trees before leaf fall through budburst. No significant differences were observed in chilling requirements among genotypes. Moreover, frost acclimation dynamics were similar between genotypes or locations when expressed depending on chilling units accumulated since 15 September as a time basis instead of Julian day. The only exception was for maximal frost hardiness observed during winter with the timber-oriented being significantly more resistant than fruit-oriented genotypes. Heat requirement was significantly different among genotypes. Thus, growth was significantly faster in fruit-oriented than in wood-oriented genotypes. Furthermore, among wood-oriented genotypes, differences in growth rate were observed only at cold temperatures. Frost acclimation changes differed significantly between fruit- and wood- walnuts from January through budburst. In conclusion, from September through January, the acclimation dynamic was driven mainly by environmental factors whereas from January through budburst a significant genotype effect was identified in both frost tolerance and avoidance processes.  相似文献

In many plants raffinose family oligosaccharides are accumulated during cold acclimation. The contribution of raffinose accumulation to freezing tolerance is not clear. Here, we investigated whether synthesis of raffinose is an essential component for acquiring frost tolerance. We created transgenic lines of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Columbia-0 and Cape Verde Islands constitutively overexpressing a galactinol synthase (GS) gene from cucumber. GS overexpressing lines contained up to 20 times as much raffinose as the respective wild-type under non-acclimated conditions and up to 2.3 times more after 14 days of cold acclimation at 4 degrees C. Furthermore, we used a mutant carrying a knockout of the endogenous raffinose synthase (RS) gene. Raffinose was completely absent in this mutant. However, neither the freezing tolerance of non-acclimated leaves, nor their ability to cold acclimate were influenced in the RS mutant or in the GS overexpressing lines. We conclude that raffinose is not essential for basic freezing tolerance or for cold acclimation of A. thaliana.  相似文献

The frost hardening and frost damage of 12 varieties of Englishryegrass (Lolium perenne) was studied by electrical impedancespectroscopy. For the measurement of the impedance spectrum(80 Hz to 1 MHz) a 10 mm length sample was cut from the stemabove the growing point, but the growing point was included.The impedance spectra were analysed by an asymmetric distributedcircuit model. The impedance spectra were measured at two phasesof hardiness and after freezing, i.e. (a) before hardening,(b) after hardening in controlled conditions, and (c) aftercontrolled frost exposure at -16 °C after hardening. Twomodel parameters, i.e. intra- and extracellular resistance,increased with hardening. The intracellular resistance and theskewness factor before hardening, and the ratio between thosetwo parameters before and after hardening, strongly correlatedwith hardening of different varieties of English ryegrass. Theextracellular resistance and the relaxation time decreased asa result of the frost exposure at -16 °C.

Studies on the effects of temperature during the early stage of growth on frost resistance of winter rape seedlings under controlled conditions were performed. It was found that cold acclimation responses of plants were affected to a great extent by the conditions of the seedlings early growth. During this period, when the day temperatures were reduced to the range from +10 °C to +15 °C, a process termed “prehardening” was observed. During prehardening plants formed leaf rosettes. Their ability to develop frost resistance during acclimation at +2 °C also increased. Frost resistance of these plants was comparable with the resistance of plants growing in autumn under field conditions.  相似文献

The process of cold acclimation in the winter hardy woody shrubCornus stolonifera Michx. was studied in relation to changesin phosphorus status and certain metabolites. Plants were coldacclimated effectively under controlled conditions which combinedshortening photoperiods and freezing temperatures. Metabolicchanges under these conditions were similar to those which occurnaturally in autumn. There was an extremely close relationshipbetween cold resistance and the status of phosphorus; i.e. ashardiness increased inorganic P decreased and acid soluble boundP and total organic P increased. Starch decreased during acclimationwhile the simpler carbohydrates increased. These included glucose,sucrose, fructose, raffinose, melibiose, xylose, and stachyosein decreasing order of occurrence. Proteins increased whilefree amino acids generally decreased. The non-volatile organicacids in decreasing quantitative order included malic, succinic,quinic, tartaric, citric, and shikimic acids. Of these onlyshikimic acid increased during hardening. These biochemicalchanges are discussed in reference to current theories of coldacclimation in plants. (Received June 18, 1966; )  相似文献

Summary Frost resistance, measured via the photosynthetic capacity after freeze-thaw treatment, and concentrations of sucrose, glucose and fructose of thalli of seven species of Bryidae and one species of Marchantiidae were determined from January to March and June to September, respectively. A distinct increase in cold tolerance from summer to winter was found in Polytrichum formosum Hedw., Atrichum undulatum (Hedw.) P. Beauv., Plagiomnium undulatum (Hedw.) Kop., Plagiomnium affine (Funck) Kop., Mnium hornum Hedw. and Pellia epiphylla (L.) Corda. While the frost resistance of the musci differed in summer and winter by 15° to more than 25° C, the hardening capacity of the thalloid liverwort was comparably low. Except in Mnium hornum, the increase in frost hardiness was accompanied by rise of the sucrose concentration in the cells, but insignificant changes in glucose and fructose contents. In contrast, Brachythecium rutabulum (Hedw.) B.S.G. and Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. already exhibited high frost tolerances in summer, which coincided with high sucrose levels in the tissue, comparable to those found in other musci during the winter. Highly frost-resistant musci had total sugar concentrations around 90–140 mM, of which at least 80% and often more than 90% was sucrose. Artificial degradation of sucrose during exposure of mosses to higher temperatures resulted in a decline in cold hardiness. The results signify that the concentration of sugars, mainly of sucrose, may be important for the frost tolerance of bryophytes.  相似文献

To increase yield in pea (Pisum sativum L.), autumn sowing would be preferable. Hence, frost tolerance of pea became a major trait of interest for breeders. In order to better understand the cold acclimation in pea, Champagne a frost tolerant line and Terese, a frost sensitive line, and their recombinant inbred lines (RIL) were studied. RIL frost tolerance was evaluated by a frost damage scale under field as well as controlled conditions. A quantitative trait loci (QTL) approach was used to identify chromosomal regions linked to frost tolerance. The detected QTL explained from 6.5 to 46.5% of the phenotypic variance. Amongst them, those located on linkage groups 5 and 6 were consistent with over all experiments, in field as well as in controlled environments. In order to improve the understanding of the frost tolerance mechanisms, several cold acclimation key characters such as concentration of sugars, electrolyte leakage, osmotic pressure, and activity of RuBisCO were assessed. Some of these physiological QTL colocalised with QTL for frost damage, in particular two raffinose QTL on LG5 and LG6 and one RuBisCO activity QTL on LG6, explaining 8.8 to 27.0% of the phenotypic variance. In addition, protein quantitative loci were mapped; some of them colocalised with frost damage and physiological QTL on LG5 and LG6, explaining 16.0–43.6% of the phenotypic variance. Raffinose metabolism and RuBisCO activity and its effect on photosynthesis might play a major role in cold acclimation of pea.

Caryopses of the frost-resistant cultivar of the wheat Triticum aestivum L., Miranovskaja 808, were germinated and grown in the presence of various concentrations of choline chloride. Changes in the composition of leaf total phospholipids and leaf total fatty acids at two extreme temperatures (25°C and 2°C) as well as changes in frost resistance were followed. A choline chloride concentration-dependent accumulation of phosphatidyl choline was observed in the leaves. Seedlings grown at 2°C accumulated more phosphatidyl choline at each choline chloride concentration than those grown at 25°C. There was an inverse relationship between the contents of phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidic acid in the leaves. Neither the temperature nor choline chloride seemed to affect fatty-acid composition. Modification of polar-head group composition of phospholipids affected frost tolerance: Seedlings grown in the presence of 15 mM choline chloride at 25°C exhibited a freezing resistance equal to that of hardened controls. The data indicate that the polar-head group composition of membrane phospholipids in plants can be easily manipulated and point to the importance of phosphatidyl choline in cold adaptation processes.  相似文献
