Abstract
Plasma membrane (PM) recovery from the impaired dry state is essential for seed germination, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found that ZmANN33 and ZmANN35, two annexin genes in maize, encode proteins that participate in PM recovery during seed germination. The expression of both genes was up-regulated during seed germination and strongly repressed by chilling (either 15 or 5 °C) as compared with the normal temperature (25 °C). In addition, the increased membrane damage caused by chilling imbibition was correlated with suppressed expression of ZmANN33 and ZmANN35, while rapid recovery of their expression levels accompanied the rescue of the damaged membrane. Arabidopsis seedlings ectopically expressing ZmANN33 or ZmANN35 had longer seedling length than wild-type (WT) plants during the recovery period after 3 d of chilling stress, indicating the positive roles of these two gene products in the plant's recovery from chilling injury. Moreover, these transgenic seedlings had lower lipid peroxidation and higher peroxidase activities than WT during the recovery period. Consistently, root cells of these transgenic seedlings had more intact PM after chilling stress, supporting the proposition that ZmANN33 and ZmANN35 contribute to the maintenance of PM integrity. The enhanced PM integrity is likely due to the accelerated exocytotic process after chilling stress. We also showed that both ZmANN33 and ZmANN35 localized in the cytosol near the plasma membrane. Thus, we conclude that ZmANN33 and ZmANN35 play essential roles in membrane recovery during maize seed germination.

Abstract
Several lipid classes constitute the universal matrix of the biological membranes. With their amphipathic nature, lipids not only build the continuous barrier that confers identity to every cell and organelle, but they are also active actors that modulate the activity of the proteins immersed in the lipid bilayer. The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, an enzyme from plant cells, is an excellent example of a transmembrane protein whose activity is influenced by the hydrophilic compartments at both sides of the membrane and by the hydrophobic domains of the lipid bilayer. As a result, an extensive documentation of the effect of numerous amphiphiles in the enzyme activity can be found. Detergents, membrane glycerolipids, and sterols can produce activation or inhibition of the enzyme activity. In some cases, these effects are associated with the lipids of the membrane bulk, but in others, a direct interaction of the lipid with the protein is involved. This review gives an account of reports related to the action of the membrane lipids on the H(+)-ATPase activity.

Abstract
The effect of low temperature (LT, 10°C) on modification of plasma membrane (PM) H(+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.3.14) activity in cucumber roots was studied. Plants were grown under LT for 3 or 6 days. Some of the plants after 3 days exposure to LT were transferred to control conditions for another 3 days (post-cold, PC). The activity of PM-H(+)-ATPase was decreased in plants treated for 3 days with LT. However, the activity of PM-H(+)-ATPase was higher in plants treated with LT for a longer time and in PC plants as well. Estimation of transcript levels of cucumber PM-H(+)-ATPase in roots indicates that the action of LT involves the gene expression level. The level of PM-H(+)-ATPase mRNA was markedly decreased in roots exposed to LT for 3 days. Moreover, the increased H(+)-ATPase activity in PM isolated from plants treated for 6 days with LT and from PC plants was positively correlated with higher levels of CsHA transcripts. Western blot analysis with an anti-phosphothreonine antibody showed that modification of the activity of PM-H(+)-ATPase under LT stress did not result from phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the enzyme protein. However, the stimulation of PM-H(+)-ATPase activity in the case of PC plants could partially have emanated from increased activity of PM NAD(P)H oxidoreductase. In addition, modification of the transcript level of proton pump genes could have resulted from the action of H(2)O(2). In PC plants, an increase in H(2)O(2) level was observed. Moreover, treatment of plants with H(2)O(2) induced expression of PM H(+)-ATPase genes.

Abstract
In this review, changes in plant gene expression in response to environmental stresses are discussed using the examples of high and low temperature treatments. While some changes may contribute to acclimatory processes which improve plant survival or performance under stress, others may be 'shock' responses indicative of sensitivity. The heat-shock response, which is almost ubiquitous among eukaryotic organisms, is characterized by repression of normal cellular protein synthesis mediated at both the transcriptional and the translational level, and induction of heat-shock protein (HSP) synthesis. There is a correlation between HSP synthesis and induced thermotolerance in plants, but the evidence for a causal relationship is not conclusive. The possible biochemical functions of some of the HSPs are now becoming apparent; they are believed to play an important role in preventing accumulation of damaged proteins in the cell during heat shock. Although no other environmental stress elicits the full heat-shock response, certain treatments do induce synthesis of subsets of the HSPs, and the reasons for this are considered. Alterations in gene expression in response to low temperatures are more diverse and usually less dramatic than the heat-shock response, with which they share little, if any, homology. Biochemical adjustments during cold treatment are discussed, with particular reference to those which contribute to acclimation. Several genes whose expression is induced by cold have been cloned and characterized, and in some cases it is possible to attribute in vivo functions to them; they include enzymes of lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism, structural proteins and putative cryoprotectants. The use of transgenic plants is further facilitating an investigation of the biochemical factors which are important in cold acclimation. Drought, osmotic stress and abscisic acid induce expression of many of the same genes as does cold treatment; it seems likely that some of the products of these genes contribute to increased freezing tolerance by protecting against intracellular dehydration.

Abstract
Cold hardened seedlings of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) show an hypoxic hardening response: an exposure to low temperature flooding increases the tolerance of plants to a subsequent ice encasement exposure. Seedlings of winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) do not show such a response in similar experimental conditions. During ice encasement, there are general declines in adenylate energy charge (AEC), total adenylates and ATP:ADP ratios in the crown tissues of two winter wheat cultivars, and a winter barley, but rates of decline are faster in the barley. When the ice period is preceded by low temperature flooding of the whole plant, levels of the adenylate components are raised significantly in the wheats, and to a lesser extent in the barley. The survival of plants in ice preceded by flooding is related to the increased initial level of adenylates at the onset of the ice encasement stress, and the maintenance of higher levels of adenylates and ATP in the early stages of ice encasement as a result of accelerated rates of glycolysis. Higher survival of both winter wheat and barley plants during ice encasement in the light is also associated with significantly higher levels of AEC and adenylates in the early stages of ice encasement.

Abstract
The activation of the vanadate-sensitive ATPase from maize (Zea mays L.) root microsomes by phospholipids was assessed by two different methods. First, the vanadate-sensitive ATPase was partially purified and substantially delipidated by treating microsomes with 0.6% deoxycholate (DOC) at a protein concentration of 1 milligram per milliliter. Vanadate-sensitive ATP hydrolysis by the DOC-extracted microsomes was stimulated up to 100% by the addition of asolectin. Of the individual phospholipids tested, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol stimulated activity as much as asolectin, whereas phosphatidylcholine did not. Second, phospholipid dependence of the ATPase was also assessed by reconstituting the enzyme into proteoliposomes of differing phospholipid composition. In these experiments, the rate of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis was only slightly affected by phospholipid composition. DOC-extracted microsomes reconstituted with dioleoylphosphatidylcholine had rates of proton transport similar to those found with microsomes reconstituted with asolectin. The difference between the two types of assays is discussed in terms of factors contributing to the interaction between proteins and lipids.

Abstract
The location and activity of a K+ -ATPase in mature, dormant peas were investigated using two ultracytochemical techniques, as well as biochemical assays of plasma membrane fractions from separate seed parts. Both the Wachstein and Meisel (1957) and the Ernst (1972) cytochemical methods showed plasma membrane-associated reaction product located primarily on the exterior surfaces of the entire pea embryo, except for the stem apex and tip-most cells of the radicle. No plasma membrane-assocated reaction product was found in the seed coat, which typically consists of cells with degenerating protoplasts. Biochemical results showed the highest specific K+ -ATPase activity in the radicles (775 nmol Pi/mg protein/hr), followed by epicotyls (168 nmol Pi/mg protein/hr) and cotyledons (147 nmol Pi/mg protein/hr). It is proposed that the entire pea embryo may function in the active absorption of nutrients during the initial phases of germination. Additional functions of the enzyme may include cell wall loosening prior to cell elongation, regulation of cytoplasmic pH, and the generation of turgor.
