Popis: Suspension cultures of cells of Adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) , a chilling-sensitive species, that had been maintained at 3° for 2 days exhibited the same sensitivity to freezing-damage as similar cultures maintained at 24°. In general, in chilling-resistant plants, acclimation increases the relative amounts of phospholipids and decreases those of sterols in membranes. Moreover, the phospholipids of acclimated cells have a higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acyl chains than those of control cells. In Adzuki bean cells grown at low temperature the concentrations of highly unsaturated glyceroglycolipids were slightly elevated but the relative amounts of stigmasterol was conspicuously elevated in all classes of sterols. No significant changes in cerebroside species were detected.
