The velocity of exogenous indol-3yl-acetic acid ([1-(14)C]IAA) transport from the apical buds of intact pea, sunflower and cotton plants was determined from 0.5Β° C to 47Β° C. The minimum temperature at which transport occurred varied from 2Β° C (pea and sunflower) to 7Β° C (cotton). Above these tempera

β¦ Synopsis
Osmotic responses of chloroplasts from chilling-resistant (Pisum sativum L., Spinacia oleracea L.) and chilling-sensitive ( Phaseolus vulgaris L., Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants to glycerol and erythritol were determined from 1 ~ to 28 ~ The permeability of the chloroplast limiting membranes, as measured by reflection coefficients, decreased when the temperature was raised. ]~or Pisum and Spinacia the curves relating reflection coefficients and temperature were smooth, while for Phaseolus and Lycopersicon breaks occurred near 11 ~ The break may indicate a phase transition in the membranes, the change leading to a higher chloroplast permeability at lower temperatures for chilling-sensitive plants.
