Metabolic alterations associated with the induction of freezing tolerance by abscisic acid (ABA) were characterized by chemical analysis and by [U-^<14^gt;C]sucrose partitioning into cellular constituents in bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss cv. Manchar) cell suspension cultures. ABA caused a significant elevation in dry matter, particularly in the fraction insoluble in 85% ethanol, that was highly correlated with enhanced frost tolerance. Cell walls, the largest component of the insoluble fraction, increased significantly as frost tolerance increased throughout the ABA treatment period. ABA stimulated total [^<14^gt;C]sucrose uptake by cells from 7% on day I to 97% on day 7 compared to control cells. Partitioning studies detected a significant increase in ^<14^gt;CO_2 evolution at 3, 5 and 7 days after ABA treatment and a significantly higher incorporation of [^<14^gt;C]sucrose into the ethanol insoluble fraction after 5 and 7 days of treatment. Organic acid depletion in ABA-treated cells was also highly correlated with the increase in hardiness. The concentration of total sugars was higher in ABA-treated cells. The results indicate that most of the metabolic changes during ABA-induced acclimation were similar to changes reported for cells acclimated in response to low temperature.
