Respiratory Changes with Chilling Injury of Soybeans

RESUMO
The leakage of solutes from cotyledons of soybeans (cv. Chippewa 64) was markedly stimulated by a chilling treatment (1 to 4 C) during the 1st minute of imbibition, but chilling after even 1 minute of water uptake resulted in little or no leakage increase. The respiratory rate of soybean particles was reduced more than 60% if a chilling treatment (15 minutes at 1 to 4 C) was given during the first minutes of imbibition, and little or no reduction was obtained if the chilling treatment was begun at 5 to 15 minutes after the start of imbibition. Using KCN as an inhibitor of cytochrome oxidase pathway of respiration and salicylhydroxamic acid as an inhibitor of the alternative pathway, it was found that the chilling injury involved a major reduction in the cytochrome pathway in whole axes and cotyledons and an engagement of the alternative pathway of respiration in cotyledon tissue. The suggestion is made that the chilling injury involves lesions resulting from temperature stress during the reorganization of membranes with water entry, and that both the leakage and the respiratory effects are consequences of these membrane lesions.
