Abstract:
A difference was found between the temperature of control and heat-treated winter wheat and pea seedlings shoots during low temperature stress. Functioning of three thermogenic mitochondrial systems was established: (i) alternative cyanide-resistant oxidase, (ii) plant uncoupling mitochondrial protein and (iii) stress protein CSP 310 and these three caused the higher temperature of winter wheat control shoots. In peas only two thermogenic systems, the alternative cyanide-resistant oxidase and plant uncoupling mitochondrial proteins were found.
