Twenty winter wheat varieties were tested for cold hardiness in the sprouted seed stage. Their relative cold hardiness at this stage was in close agreement with their relative cold hardiness in freezing tests of young plants and with their field winter hardiness. Testing by the procedure outlined is apparently a reliable method of testing for cold hardiness. It permits the testing of a large number of varieties in a limited space.

1. The adaptation of plants to resist frost appears to depend on seasonal changes which give the protoplasm stability. A study has been made of the changes occurring in winter wheat plants, of varieties differing widely in winter hardiness, during the fall and winter months.2. By analysing the press-juice as well as the entire tissues at progressive dates, it has been possible to study the distribution of the more important constituents between the physiologically active cell fluids and the relatively inert supporting framework.3. One of the most important changes in the quantitative relations of the various plant constituents is the reduction in moisture content. This takes place to a greater degree in hardy varieties. The resulting concentration of colloids and sugars in the cell fluids increases the resistance to freezing.

Abstract Understanding of the physiological role of mammalian hormone—androstenedione (AN)—in plants is scant and the mechanisms of its action at a cellular level are practically unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and biochemical background of AN activity in winter wheat exposed to low temperature. Cold periods are important in the lifecycle of this species as they induce frost resistance and further generative development. Wheat seedlings (control and AN-supplemented) were acclimated 2 weeks in cold and then exposed to frost (−12 °C). AN supplementation reduced frost damages by 30%. Moreover, AN also accelerated generative development of wheat. The AN-induced changes in redox homeostasis seemed to be important for processes of acclimation to low temperature and generative induction. AN influenced hormonal balance in wheat and stimulated accumulation among other gibberellins and cytokinins. For example, in aerial part of plants, the content of GA3 was increased by AN in 12 days of cold by about 30%, whereas the content of cis-zeatin was increased by 65%. AN was absorbed into plant membranes (Langmuir bath studies). The membrane absorption of AN increased the distance between lipid molecules and this may be an important step in the AN-induced enhancement of frost resistance. AN interaction with lipid membranes showed similarity to the interactions of some known regulators stimulating flowering in plants, and thus it may also underlie the acceleration of wheat development. Androstenedione was naturally present in wheat leaves (5–21 pg g−1 FW).

The catalase activity of press-juice of winter wheat leaves collected from the field at any time during the late summer and fall was directly related to the winter hardiness of varieties.

The correlation between accumulation of linolenic acid in the crowns and roots of winter wheat and its frost hardening at low temperature is indirect. It results from their common requirement for light and low temperature. Light mainly produces energy and carbon reserves. The partial hardening obtained in darkness could be eliminated by preetiolation. The high levels of linolenic acid and frost resistance reached after hardening were maintained for a long time in darkness. The levels of linolenic acid and frost hardiness decreased faster at low temperature in hardened plants after treatment with BASF 13-338, a substituted pyridazinone, than in plants deprived of light. The mode of action of BASF 13-338 is apparently not limited to the inhibition of photosynthesis.
