Influence of stress protein CSP 310 and antiserum against this protein on oxygen uptake, lipid peroxidation, and temperature of winter wheat seedling shoots during cold stress.

It is determined that infiltration of winter wheat seedling shoots by anti-CSP 310 antiserum caused a significant decrease of oxygen uptake in winter wheat shoots during short-term cold stress. On the other hand, infiltration of winter wheat seedling shoots by stress protein CSP 310 caused an increase of oxygen consumption. The comparison of the influence of infiltration of winter wheat shoots by CSP 310 and anti-CSP 310 antiserum on the rate of lipid peroxidation showed that, if infiltration by CSP 310 caused a decrease of conjugated diene formation, infiltration by anti-CSP 310 antiserum did not cause any significant changes in the rate of lipid peroxidation. The study of the influence of infiltration of winter wheat shoots by CSP 310 and anti-CSP 310 antiserum on the temperature of winter wheat shoots during cold stress showed that CSP 310 caused the increase of their temperature while anti-CSP 310 caused a decrease of their temperature.
