Summary

THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE PLANT CELL WALLS INFLUENCE THE SEVERITY OF FREEZING INJURY WAS EXAMINED BY COMPARING THE FREEZE STRESS RESPONSE OF INTACT CELLS AND PROTOPLASTS FROM 4 DIFFERENT SUSPENSION CULTURES. INTACT CELLS SUFFERED NO MORE INJURY THAN THE WALL-LESS PROTOPLASTS, THUS SHOWING THAT MECHANICAL STRAIN IMPOSED BY THE CELL WALL DURING FREEZE-THAW STRESS IS NOT A MAJOR DETERMINANT OF FREEZING INJURY.
