Abstract

To identify low temperature-induced genes of wheat chromosome substitution line 5D, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was performed with mRNAs from leaf samples that treated with low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). A cDNA library was constructed using mRNA isolated from wheat chromosome substitution line 5D leaves treated with low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the putative gene products were compared. wfr-9 and wfr-32 showed identity over 90% related to vernalization gene. Other two genes, wfr-77 and wfr-83 which is related to freezing-resistant gene have also identity over 90%. This result suggest that those genes may be transcribed into antifreeze proteins which are accumulated within leaf apoplasts, when wheat chromosome substitution line 5D is acclimated during low temperature treatment.
