Summary

Preheating tomato cv. Daniella fruits for 48 hours at 38 deg C prevented chilling injury from developing after 21 days at 2 deg C, whereas unheated fruits developed high levels of injury. A 23-kiloDa protein, highly labelled in heated fruits but not in unheated fruits, had its amino terminus sequenced. This is thought to be the first report showing a relationship between the persistence of heat-shock proteins and chilling tolerance in a plant tissue.
