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.

BASF 13-338, a derivative of pyridazinone, inhibits photosynthesis without affecting. respiration in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at low temperature. This inhibition could account for the previously reported inhibition of frost hardening. Therefore, simultaneous inhibition of linolenic acid accumulation and of frost hardening are probably not causally related.

The influence of frost hardening conditions on the frost-resistance of three winter wheat cultivars ('Mironowska 808', 'Grana' and 'Maris Huntsman') was studied. Frost resistance was measured periodically during the autumn and winter season by the delayed luminescence method. Parallelly an electrical conductivity test was performed for comparison. It was found that the temperature which delayed luminescence reaches its maximum (t<sub>N</sub>) correlates with (t<sub>50</sub>) obtained by the conductometric method. The differences in response of particular cultivars to frost and hardening conditions are described.

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).

Low soil moisture, both prior to and during freezing, increased frost resistance of 12-day-old winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants. While frost resistance increased, percentage of linolenic acid decreased in drought-stressed plants (10% of soil water-holding capacity) as compared with controls (40%). This occurred whether drought stress was applied before freezing at 1 °C or at 20 °C. A degree of frost hardening can be achieved in winter wheat by drought stress without low temperature treatment, and without an increase in degree of unsaturation of fatty acids.

Noticeable changes in lipids were observed during growth of Sangaste fall rye, Prolific spring rye, Kharkov winter wheat, and Red Bobs spring wheat, at vernalizing temperature, over a period of 6 weeks. There was, however, little difference between the trends exhibited by the four varieties, apart from the fact that the rye varieties apparently accumulated more linolenic acid than the wheat varieties whereas the reverse was true for linoleic acid. These results suggested that the lipids under study did not play a direct role in the vernalization response, and the changes observed were a result of low-temperature growth.

We determined the virucidal effectiveness against foot-and-mouth disease virus of the low-temperature long-time cooking of virus-contaminated semitendinosus muscle (ST). Of the 11 time and temperature combinations examined, over a range of 63°C to 75°C for extended periods, the respective processing conditions of 71°C for 10.66 h and 75°C for 5.75 h were virucidal. Samples cooked under these temperature-time combinations were more tender (P&lt;0.01) and had better overall acceptability (P&lt;0.05) than beef cuts cooked by conventional commercial processes currently used in Argentina for meat to be exported. Product yields were increased from 60% for the commercial process to 67.8% or 68.6%, respectively, for the two virucidal thermal processes.
