Molybdenum appliedin vivo to winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Sadovo 1) grown on acid soil had cryoprotective effect. In Mo-treated plants the amount of digalactosyl diacylglycerol in the leaves increased during cold acclimation and that of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol remained relatively unchanged. An opposite tendency was observed in untreated plants. The most pronounced effect of freezing temperature on lipid changes was observed with respect to the different rate of phospholipid degradation in both kinds of plants. The amount of phospholipids at -5°C in Mo-treated plants increased while in untreated ones it significantly decreased. In general, the changes observed in Mo-treated plants corresponded to those shown for frost resistant plants.

Keywords: cold acclimation; digalactosyl diacylglycerol; freezing; monogalactosyl diacylglycerol; phospholipids
