Abstract excerpt
We have examined the role of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, E.C.1.1.1.1) in chilling tolerance using maize (Zea mays L.) Adh1(-)Adh2(-) doubly null mutant. Adh1(-)Adh2(-) doubly null seedlings were found to have lowered survival rates compared to non-doubly null maize seedlings (Silverado F(1)) when held at 2 degrees C for varying periods. Exposure to ethanol did not increase the chilling tolerance in either...
