저온 스트레스에 대한 호박의 생육과 식물체 내 삼투조절 물질의 반응을 분석한 결과, 삼투조절물질의 축적은 저온에 대한 내성 증가에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 가용성 당은 저온에 강한 품종보다는 저온에 약한 품종에서 축적량이 많았다. 저온 처리 시 proline은 대조구에 비해 저온에 강한 품종과 약한 품종에서 모두 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 저온에 대한 내성에 따라 축적량에는 차이가 뚜렷하였는데, 저온 처리 후 20일째의 proline축적량은 대조구에 비해 저온에 약한 품종에서는 22배 증가하였고, 저온에 강한 품종에서 는 26.6배 증가하였다. 또한 저온에 약한 품종에서는 glycine betaine이 축적되지 않았지만, 강한 품종에서는 대조구에 비해 1.9배의 증가를 보였다. Glycine betaine을 엽면 처리하면 두 품종 모두 저온에 대한 내성이 증가하였는데, 이는 체내에 glycine betaine의 축적과 밀접한 관계가 있었다.

Morphological alteration of floral organ development in rice affected by chilling stress was examined. Three varieties of rice were grown under natural conditions and subjected to 12$^{\circ}C$ for 3 or 6 days starting from the ineffective tillering stage, before heading stage and returned to natural condition. Headings were delayed by a 6 day chilling treatment. After heading the panicles were collected and examined for any possible alteration in floral organ development. It appears that there were some differences in sensitivity to chilling stress and degree of injury depending on treatment stages and variety. Chuchungbyeo was the most frequent in producing abnormal flowers among the three varieties examined. Meiosis stage was shown to be the most vulnerable to chilling stress in both Chuchungbyeo and Ilpumbyeo and young panicle differentiation stage was the frequent stage to alter flower development in response to chilling stress only in Chuchungbyeo. It was confirmed that abnormalities occurred in pollen due to chilling stress is a major factor leading to low yield, but to some extent the alterations in carpel development may playa certain role in determining a total yield in response to chilling stress at the reproduction stage in rice. There were abnormalities like extra stigmata, extra lemma, double ovary as well as abnormal anther formation in response to chilling stress. Further studies of the phenocopy observed in rice floral development may be useful for an understanding of the resistance against chilling injury during reproductive stages in rice.

저온에 대한 생육 반응이 다른 호박 두 품종 간 항산화효소의 활성 변화를 분석해 본 결과, 저온에 강한 '흑종'의 잎에는 Rm이 0.20인 Mn-SOD와 와 0.52인 Fe-SOD가 주된 밴드였고, 저온에 약한 '재래 13'호의 잎에는 an이 0.20인 Mn-SOD와 0.58인 Cu/Zn-SOD가 주된 밴드였다. 저온 처리 후 10일째에 '흑종'의 잎에는 Rm이 0.58인 Cu/Zn-SOD밴드가 발현되었고, '재래 13호'의 경우 밴드의 밀도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. APX 밴드 발현 양상은 두 품종 모두 적온 처리에서는 차이가 없었지만, 저온 처리 후 10일경부터 저온에 강한 '흑종'의 잎에서 새로운 APX밴드가 발현되었다. POB밴드의 발현 양상은 품종간에 뚜렷한 차이가 있었는데, 적온 하에서 '흑종'의 잎에서는 4개의 주된 밴드가, '재래 13호'의 잎에서는 한 개의 주된 밴드가 발현되었다. 그러나 저온 처리시 '흑종'의 잎에서는 Rm이 0.36, 0.40 및 0.54인 밴드의 밀도가 급격하게 증가한 반면 '재래 13호'의 잎에서는 Rm이 0.36과 0.54인 밴드의 밀도가 증가하였다. 저온에 대한 내성과 관계없이 두 품종 모두 저온 처리 후 초기에는 SOD, APX 및 POD의 활성이 급격하게 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 저온 처리 후 기간이 경과할수록 품종간 차이가 뚜렷하였다. '흑종'의 잎에서는 이러한 활성이 지속적으로 유지되었지만, '재래 13호'의 잎에서는 저온 처리 후 5일경부터 급격하게 감소하여 적온 처리구보다 낮은 활성을 보여 저온에 대한 품종간 내성차이를 잘 반영해 주었다.

To understand the adaptability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to chilling stress, we analyzed the antioxidative mechanism during seed germination. The germination rates of six alfalfa cultivars were studied comparatively at $10^{\circ}C$. Xinmu No. 1 and Northstar were selected as chilling stress-tolerant and stress-sensitive cultivars for further characterization. After chilling treatment, Xinmu No. 1 showed higher seedling growth than Northstar. Xinmu No. 1 exhibited low levels of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation compared with Northstar. In addition, shoots in Xinmu No. 1 treated with chilling showed higher activities of the superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase than those of Northstar, whereas Xinmu No. 1 showed higher APX activity in roots that Northstar. These results indicated that high antioxidation activity in Xinmu No. 1 under chilling stress is well associated with tolerance to chilling condition during germination.

저온 또는 건조 처리에 따른 토마토 유묘의 생육과 부위별 항산화효소의 반응 양상을 분석한 결과, 토마토 유묘의 생체중은 처리 후 12일째에 대조구에 비해 각각 69.5% 와 50.6% 감소하였다. SOD와 POD의 활성은 대조구에 비해 저온 또는 건조 처리에서 높은 활성을 보였는데, 저온 처리시에는 뿌리에서 더 높은 활성을 보였고 건조 처리에서는 잎과 줄기에서 높은 활성을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 동위효소의 발현양상에서도 일치하였다. GR의 활성은 저온 또는 건조 처리시 대조구보다 높은 활성을 보였는데, 잎과 줄기에서는 저온과 건조 처리간의 차이는 없었지만, 뿌리에서는 건조 처리가 높은 경향을 보였다. GR 동위효소 발현양상은 저온과 건조처리시에는 GR-3 밴드가 잎에서는 발현되어 대조구와 차이가 있었지만, 줄기와 뿌리에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. PPO 활성은 잎에서는 모든 처리에서 차이가 없었지만, 줄기와 뿌리에서는 저온 또는 건조 처리에서 대조구보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 특히 줄기의 PPO 활성은 저온 처리보다 건조처리에서 높았고 뿌리의 PPO 활성은 건조 처리보다 저온 처리에서 높았다. 동위효소의 발현양상에서도 건조처리에서는 줄기에서, 저온 처리에서는 뿌리에서 높은 밀도를 보여 불량 환경에 따른 부위별 반응 차이를 잘 반영해 주었다.

To investigate the early symptoms of light-chilling, alterations of chlorophyll fluorescence transients were monitored in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Ilmichungjang) leaves. During 24 h chilling, decreases in (Fv)m/Fm, qE and qQ, and an increase in Fo were observed. The chilling effects were not recovered at room temperature, and a significant increase in Fo was observed during the recovery period. After 6 h chilling, ‘dip’(D) level of the transients became obscure, and the negative slope after ‘peak’(P) disappeared. The first derivative (dFv/dt) of the fast fluorescence rise curve was used to obtain more accurate information about the changes in the transients. The maximal rate of the fluorescence increase in the D-p rise curve (Fr) has been the most frequently used chilling stress indicator. However, a correct value of Fr could not be measured when the D level became obscure. This problem was overcome by introducing a new indicator, HFr (dFv/dt at Fv = 1/2 (Fv)m), and HFr gave very similar values to Fr. To monitor the changes in curvature around D level, another new parameter, ${\Delta}S$(D-Fr), was also introduced. These three parameters decreased very sensitively during light-chilling. In addition, increases in these parameters were observed during the first 2 h chilling, but this increase in Fr was also observed in pea leaf discs dark-chilled for 15 min, suggesting that this very early change is a common response to chilling in both pea and cucumber leaves. Quenching coefficients were also very sensitive to chilling, especially qE. Discussion on the usage of these parameters as chilling stress indicators is given in the text.

Since the major important factors limiting plant growth and crop productivity are environmental stresses, of which low temperature is the most serious. It has been well known that many physiological processes are alterant in response to the environmental stress. With regard to the relationship between plant hormones and the regulation of chilling tolerance in rice seedlings, the major physiological roles of plant hormones: abscisic acid, ethylene and polyamines are evaluated and discussed in this paper. Rice seedlings were grown in culture solution to examine the effect of such plant hormones on physiological characters related to chilling tolerance and also to compare the different responses among tested cultivars. Intact seedlings about 14 day-old were chilled at conditions of 5$^{\circ}C$ and 80% relative humidity for various period. Cis-(＋)-ABA content was measured by the indirect ELISA technique. Polyamine content and ethylene production in leaves were determined by means of HPLC and GC respectively. Chilling damage of seedlings was evaluated by electrolyte leakage, TTC viability assay or servival test. Our experiment results described here demonstrated the physiological functions of ABA, ethylene, and polyamines related to the regulation of chilling tolerance in rice seedlings. Levels of cis-(＋)-ABA in leaves or xylem sap of rice seedlings increased rapidly in response to 5$^{\circ}C$ treatment. The tolerant cultivars had significant higher level of endogenous ABA than the sensitive ones. The ($\pm$)-ABA pretreatment for 48 h increased the chilling tolerance of the sensitive indica cultivar. One possible function of abscisic acid is the adjustment of plants to avoid chilling-induced water stress. Accumulation of proline and other compatible solutes is assumed to be another factor in the prevention of chilling injuies by abscisic acid. In addition, the expression of ABA-responsive gene is reported in some plants and may be involving in the acclimation to low temperature. Ethylene and its immediate precusor, 1-amincyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) increased significantly after 5$^{\circ}C$ treatment. The activity of ACC synthase which converts S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to ACC enhanced earlier than the increase of ethylene and ACC. Low temperature increased ACC synthase activity, whereas prolonged chilling treatment damaged the conversion of ACC to ethylene. It was shown that application of Ethphon was beneficial to recovering from chilling injury in rice seedlings. However, the physiological functions of chilling-induced ethylene are still unclear. Polyamines are thought to be a potential plant hormone and may be involving in the regulation of chilling response. Results indicated that chilling treatment induced a remarkable increase of polyamines, especially putrescine content in rice seedlings. The relative higher putrescine content was found in chilling-tolerant cultivar and the maximal level of enhanced putrescine in shoot of chilling cultivar(TNG. 67) was about 8 folds of controls at two days after chilling. The accumulation of polyamines may protect membrane structure or buffer ionic imbalance from chilling damage. Stress physiology is a rapidly expanding field. Plant growth regulators that improve tolerance to low temperature may affect stress protein production. The molecular or gene approaches will help us to elucidate the functions of plant hormones related to the regulation of chilling tolerance in plants in the near future.

In chilling-sensitive plants, the donor side of Photosystem II is inhibited by the chilling treatment in the dark, while the acceptor side of Photosystem I is inhibited by the chilling under the moderate light. Since the addition of inhibitors of electron transfer from Photosystem II protects Photosystem I from chilling induced photoinhibition of Photosystem I, inhibition or down-regulation of Photosystem II activity in vivo may also protect Photosystem I from photoinhibition. It was revealed that dark-chilling pretreatment actually protected Photosystem I from photoinhibition. The results imply that down-regulation of Photosystem II under stress conditions may have a role to protect Photosystem I from photoinhibition.

토마토 유묘의 생육에 미치는 glycine betaine의 엽면처리 효과를 분석한 결과, 초장이나 건물중 등의 생육이 대조구인 증류수 처리에 비해 촉진되는 경향을 보였으며 25mM glycine betaine 처리가 가장 좋았다. 저온스트레스 하에서 삼투조절 역할을 하는 가용성 당과 proline의 축적량이 증류수 처리에 비해 glycine betaine처리에서 낮은 경향을 보여 외부에서 엽면 처리한 glycine betaine이 삼투조절 역할을 한 것으로 판단되었으며 이러한 결과는 수용성 단백질과 유리 아미노산의 축적 양상에서도 잘 반영되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 glycine betaine의 엽면 처리는 저온기 시설 토마토 재배 시 야간 저온장해를 극복할 수 있는 방법으로서 이용 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidative enzymes and isozymes between chilling-tolerant and -susceptible varieties at the booting stage under cold water stress $(13^{\circ}C)$ in japonica rice. Total SOD, CAT, POX, and GR activities on the basis of protein were found to be important factors to defend cold water stress. Especially, SOD and CAT activities showed distinctive differences between chilling-tolerant and -susceptible varieties. Chilling-tolerant varieties were higher than chilling-susceptible varieties for SOD and CAT activities. One of eight isozyme bands for SOD was a inducible isoform. Three isozymes for CAT and one isozyme for POX were closely correlated with defense to cold water stress. Total GR activities except Stejaree 45 on the basis fresh weight and POX were increased by cold water stress, but there was no difference between chilling-tolerant and -sus­ceptible varieties.
