This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of regulating free proline content and ethylene production in the resistant to abiotic stress cv. 'Hornet H' and the tolerant to stress cv. 'Sunday' of winter rapeseed seedlings by pretreatment with exogenous L-proline and L-glutamine in non-acclimated and cold-acclimated seedlings in relation to freezing tolerance. The ratio of proline content in acclimated (at 4A degrees C) versus non-acclimated (18A degrees C) 'Hornet H' seedlings increased 2.12-fold and in 'Sunday' seedlings 1.95-fold. Exogenously applied, proline and glutamine produced a positive effect on free proline content in both cold-acclimated and non-acclimated seedlings. At a temperature of -1A degrees C the proline content significantly increased in non-acclimated and especially in cold-acclimated seedlings. At an intensified freezing temperature (-3A degrees C, -5A degrees C, -7A degrees C), the proline content decreased in comparison with that at -1A degrees C, but glutamine, especially proline, in cold-acclimated seedlings takes part in free proline level increase and in seedlings' resistance to freezing. Ethylene production increased in cold-acclimated conditions and under the effect of exogenous proline and glutamine. In freezing conditions, ethylene production decreased, but in cold-acclimated seedlings and under pretreatment of proline and glutamine the ethylene synthesis was intensive. Thus, free proline content and ethylene production increase in cold-acclimated winter rapeseed seedlings and under pretreatment with glutamine and especially with proline. Free proline is involved in the response to cold stress, and its level may be an indicator of cold-hardening and freezing tolerance, but the role of ethylene in the regulation of cold tolerance remains not quite clear.
