Abstract
This proposal aims to identify and characterise the signalling components required for the transduction of low temperature and initiation of protective responses. The study will employ low temperature signalling mutants which we have already characterised. Additionally chilling/freezing sensitive mutants which we have also isolated, will be analysed for aberrant signalling. A combination of molecular and cell biological approaches will be used to provide information about the low temperature signalling pathways leading to gene expression and tolerance of chilling and freezing. This approach will test hypotheses regarding the role of intracellular calcium, the MAP kinase kinase kinase AtMEKK1, SFR6, CHS3 and the CRT/DRE cis-acting element in promoters of low temperature-induced genes.
