Low temperature triggers the acquisition of frost tolerance in plant species that are capable of developing cold hardiness. Recently, the transcription of specific genes was observed to be induced, at least in part, by low temperature in alfalfa (9), Arabidopsis (5, 7, 10), barley (2, 3), and wheat (6, 8) during cold acclimation. In wheat and Arabidopsis, the cold-induced mRNAs were shown to direct the translation of heat-stable polypeptides (6, 8); in rice, exposure to low temperatures resulted in the accumulation of rab (responsive to ABA) gene products (4). The mRNAs encoding these gene products appear rapidly when the plants are exposed to low temperature and, in the majority of cases, are also inducible by water stress or by the direct application of ABA (5, 7, 10). Although the exact function of the products of these cold-regulated genes has not been elucidated, evidence of similarity in deduced amino acid motifs and similar physicochemical properties with rab or lea (late embryogenic abundant) proteins suggests that they may play a role in protecting the cell from the cellular dehydration that accompanies extracellular freezing. Differential a XgtlO library, from the Brassica napus, cv 2°C, was the cDNA of a cold-induced We report cDNA deduced amino acid a low-temperature-regulated region nucleotide sequence (77%)
