| Abstract | Changes in membrane stability, free proline content and peroxidase isoenzyme expression, induced by low tem-peratures and exogenous ABA in some wheat genotypes, were investigated. Both low temperature and exogenous ABA induced larger increases in free proline content and stability of cell membranes in frost resistant wheat geno-types than in frost sensitive ones. Proline levels in hard-ened plants and in plants treated with ABA were correlated with frost tolerance, expressed as TL50. Low temperatures, more than ABA treatment, determined the increasing of peroxidase isoenzymes activity with medium and high mo-lecular weight. Genotype ranking for frost tolerance in hardened plants at low temperatures in controlled condi-tion was consisted with that recorded in ABA treated plants. Our results suggested that ABA pays an important role in the acclimatization process of wheat and indicated the possibility to use the treatment with ABA for frost tol-erance screening.
