Abstract

A cold-regulated gene (cor tmc-ap3) coding for a putative chloroplastic amino acid selective channel protein wasisolated from cold-treated barley leaves combining the differential display and the 50-RACE techniques. Cor tmcap3is expressed at low level under normal growing temperature, and its expression is strongly enhanced aftercold treatment. A positive correlation between the expression of cor tmc-ap3 and frost tolerance was found bothamong barley cultivars and among cereal species. The COR TMC-AP3 protein was expressed in vitro, purifiedand used to raise a polyclonal antibody.Western analysis showed that the cor tmc-ap3 gene product is localized tothe chloroplastic outer envelope fraction, supporting its putative function. The frost-resistant winter cultivar Oniceaccumulated COR TMC-AP3 more rapidly and at a higher level than the frost-susceptible spring cultivar Gitane.After 28 days of cold acclimation the winter cultivar had about 2-fold more protein than the spring genotype.All these results suggest that an increased amount of a chloroplastic amino acid selective channel protein couldbe required for cold acclimation in cereals. Hypotheses about the role of COR TMC-AP3 during the hardeningprocess are discussed.
