By E. Tapio Palva, Pekka Heino (auth.), Paul H. Li, Tony H. H. Chen (eds.)

This quantity is compiled in keeping with the lawsuits of the fifth foreign Plant chilly Hardiness Seminar, which was once held at Oregon country collage, Corvallis, Oregon, united states, August five to eight, 1996. members representing sixteen international locations and 22 U. S. states attended the seminar. Researchers got here from significant laboratories all over the world regarding plant chilly hardiness learn. the data compiled during this quantity represents the state-of­ the-art study and our realizing of plant chilly hardiness by way of molecular biol­ ogy, biochemistry, and body structure. The 1996 overseas Plant chilly Hardiness Seminar was once the 5th of the sequence; it used to be first held in 1977 on the collage of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, and because then has met each five years. the final target of this seminar sequence is to foster the alternate of rules and study findings one of the different teams of scientists learning freezing and chilling stresses from a large choice of views. this is often the one foreign convention concentration­ ing its courses completely on low temperature tension in vegetation. based on the tradi­ tion, the 5th convention inquisitive about freezing and chilling rigidity of vegetation and lined a number of facets of plant chilly hardiness, together with molecular genetics, biochemistry, physi­ ology, and agricultural purposes. All members to this quantity are eminent researchers who've had major contributions to the data of plant chilly hardiness.

Low Temperature Signal Transduction during Cold Acclimation of Alfalfa 25 8. LOW TEMPERATURE SENSOR(S): MULTIPLE SITES FOR COLD PERCEPTION AND RESPONSE It is generally accepted that in order to adapt to a stressful environment, an organism must first sense the stress signal and transduce it into a cascade of biochemical responses leading to specific gene expression and adaptive changes in metabolism.

M2 seeds were harvested in pools of approximately 1000 M I plants. Some M2 seeds were purchased from Lehle Seeds. 2. Culture and Freezing Test of Seedlings on Petri Dishes Freezing test was carried out with whole plants grown on Petri dishes. Seeds were sterilized with 70% ethanol for S min followed by 30% of commercial bleach and washed S times with sterilized water. 9% Bacto-Agar. lmol m-2 sec-I). Two weeks after sowing, the seedlings on Petri dishes were either directly moved to the freezing chamber or cold acclimated at 4°C under continuous illumination for a Constitutive Freezing Tolerant Mutants in Arabidopsis 39 period ranging from 12h to one week before freezing.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS Over the past few years, much has been learned about cold-regulated gene expression in plants. It is now established that the expression of COR genes involves the action of coldregulated promoters; a cis-acting cold regulatory element having a conserved 5 bp sequence, CCGAC-the CRT-has been defined; at least some CRT-containing sequences, the OREs, have been shown to impart both cold- and drought-regulated gene expression; and a cDNA clone for a transcription factor that binds to CRT-containing elements, CBFI, has been isolated.
