Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Quantify cold hardiness of advanced breeding lines, recently released varieties, and established standard varieties using laboratory-based methodology. 2. Isolate and characterize genes corresponding to low temperature-induced and antifreeze proteins by constructing and screening a representative genomic library from Midiron with both homologous and heterologous gene probes. 3. Characterize the low temperature induced expression of the cloned genes by northern blot analysis. 4. Sequence the cloned genes and characterize gene structure and function based on nucleotide sequence data." The eleven cultivars evaluated for cold tolerance were GN-I, Baby, Tifway, Tifton 94, Quickstand, Midlawn, Arizona Common, Mirage, Jackpot, Guymon, and OKS. Results reveal that "chitinase gene expression is regulated by cold acclimation at 8°C/2°C day/night temperature cycles. The level of chitinase gene expression varied positively with cold hardiness." Also notes that drought stress and exogenous application of abscisic acid induced chitinase gene expression. This five-year study began in 1998.
