ABSTRACT:
A method of determining frost hardiness of a conifer seedling, which comprises detecting an amount of a cold protein in tissue of said conifer, the cold protein being a protein of approximately 19 kD that increase significantly in amount in the conifer during fall season (autumnal) months and that imparts frost hardiness to the seedling, and then assessing frost hardiness based on said detected amount. In the case of Pinus lambertiana, the cold protein includes the N-terminal sequence: Val--Ser--Gly--Thr--Ser--Ser--Thr--Glu--Glu--Val--Val--Gln--Asn--Glu--Ala- the cold protein includes the N-terminal sequence: Val--Ser--Gly--Thr--Ser--Ser--Thr--Glu--Glu--Val--Val--Gln--Val--Glu--Ala- invention also relates to conjugates and antibodies used in the method.
