Role of Abscisic Acid in Drought-Induced Freezing Tolerance, Cold Acclimation, and Accumulation of LT178 and RAB18 Proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

To study the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in development of freezing
tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana, we exposed wild-type plants, the
ABA-insensitive mutant abi1, and the ABA-deficient mutant aba-1 to low
temperature (LT), exogenous ABA, and drought. Exposure of A. thaliana to
drought stress resulted in a similar increase in freezing tolerance as
achieved by ABA treatment or the initial stages of acclimation, suggesting
overlapping responses to these environmental cues. ABA appears to be
involved in both LT- and drought-induced freezing tolerance, since both ABA
mutants were impaired in their responses to these stimuli. To correlate
enhanced freezing tolerance with the presence of stress-specific proteins,
we characterized the accumulation of RAB18 and LTI78 in two ecotypes,
Landsberg erecta and Coimbra, and in the ABA mutants during stress
response. LT- and drought-induced accumulation of RAB18 coincided with the
increase in freezing tolerance and was blocked in the
cold-acclimation-deficient ABA mutants. In contrast, LT178 accumulated in
all genotypes in response to LT and drought and was always present when the
plants were freezing tolerant. This suggests that development of freezing
tolerance in A. thaliana requires ABA-controlled processes in addition to
ABA-independent factors.
