Rapeseed is a typical winter crop, and its freezing stress tolerance is a major feature for winter survival. Therefore, it is important to comprehend clearly the physical and molecular mechanisms of rapeseed under freezing stress conditions. This study investigates the physical and transcriptome changes of two rapeseed lines, 'J8634-B-30' and 'EMS26', under cold acclimation and freezing temperature treatments. The proline content of 'J8634-B-30' at 5 ℃ increased 8.7-fold compared to that before treatment, and there was no significant change in that of 'EMS26' RNA-sequencing analysis revealed 5,083 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of 'J8634-B-30' under cold acclimation condition. Among the genes, 2,784 (54.8%) were up-regulated and 2,299 (45.2%) were down-regulated. The DEGs of 'EMS26' under cold acclimation condition were 5,831 genes, and contained 2,199 up-regulated genes (37.7%) and 3,632 down-regulated genes (62.3%). Among them, only DEGs annotated in the cold response-related signaling pathways were selected, and their expression in the two rapeseed lines was compared. Comparative DEGs analysis indicated that cold response related signaling pathways are proline metabolism and ABA (Abscisic acid) signaling. And ICE (Inducer of CBF expression) - CBF (C-repeat-binding factor) - COR (Cold-regulated) signaling were the significantly differentially expressed transcripts in the two rapeseed lines. The major induced transcripts of 'J8634-B-30' induced P5CS (Δ'-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase), which is related to proline biosynthesis, PYL (pyrabactin resistance-like protein, ABA receptor) and COR413 (cold-regulated 413 plasma membrane 1). In conclusion, these result provide a foundation for understanding the mechanisms of freezing stress tolerance in rapeseeds. Further functional studies should be performed on the freezing stress-related genes identified in this study, which can contribute to the transgenic and molecular breeding for freezing stress tolerance in rapeseed.

Anionic (sodium lauryl sulphate, NaLS) cationic (cetyl ammonium bromide, CTAB) and non-ionic (Tween-80) surfactants have been found to inhibit the rate of oxiadation L-proline and L-methionine by alkaline $KMnO_4$. A first order dependence of rate of oxidation was observed with respect to $MnO_4{^-}$. The order of reaction in substrate and alkali was found to be fractional nearby 0.65 and 0.55 in Aminoacid and $OH^-$, respectively. An aggregation/association between $MnO_4{^-}$ and surfactant has been confirmed spectrophotometrically. A mechanism, involving kinetically inactive [$MnO_4{^-}$ surfactant] aggregate and consistent with kinetic data, has been proposed. The effect of surfactants has been discussed in terms of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.

The present study was undertaken to Investigate the effects of low temperature and salicylic acid (SA) on chilling tolerance In acclimated and nonacclimated cucumber seedlings. Acclimation significantly affected survival and shoot dry weights. Injuries of acclimated seedlings at the third leaf stage were on the average smaller by half than those of the nonacclimated ones. Chilling caused a large increase in free proline levels, regardless of acclimation status. Exogenous treatment with SA resulted in improvement in growth and survival of acclimated, chilled seedlings, indicating SA and acclimation have common effects. Cycloheximide treatment In the presence of SA restored acclimation-induced chilling tolerance. An elevated proline level was observed in cold-treated and SA- treated plants and the level was more pronounced in the light than in the dark at chilled temperature, indicating that endogenous proline may play a role in chilling tolerance.

Total nitrogen content, proline, free amino acids, sugars, invertase and diastase activities in native bee-honey (NBH) and foregin bee-honey (FBH) harvested from our different areas of Kangwon , Korea were determined. The total nitrogen contents of NBH and FBH were 0.077$\pm$0.033mg% and 0.055$\pm$0.022mg%, respectively. Proline content in NBH was 42$\pm$10mg% and waqs found to be much lower than that in FHB. Phenylalanine and proline were major free amino acids both in NBH and FBH . The content of total free amino acid in FBH were twice as much as that in NBH , however isomaltose content in NBH were almost two times more than that in FBH. Other sugars including fructose, glucos , sucrose and maltose were also analyzed. No differences were found between NBH and FBH in invertase activities, but comparing to these of FBH ,lower values of diastase activity in NBH were observed.

The present investigation was carried out to identify salivary components of mucosal pellicle and to explore the difference of mucosal pellicle components according to the location of oral mucosa. By using antisera and immunoblotting, high-(MG1) and low-(MG2) molecular-mass salivary mucins, amylase, IgA, proline-rich proteins(PRPs) were detected in mucosal pellicle in vivo. In addition, the data indicated that mucins, IgA and proline-rich proteins could be cleaved into lower-molecular-mass products, whereas the IgA, proline-rich proteins could also be cross-linked into higher-molecular-mass complexes. Mucosal pellicles from buccal, labial and palatal mucosa showed similar pattern in immunoblotting experiments using anti-MG2 and anti-PRPs antisera. The data from this study suggest that during mucosal pellicle formation multiple components of saliva adsorb to oral mucosal epithelial cell surfaces, and selected components can be proteolytically cleaved into smaller fragments and/or cross-linked into higher-molecular products.

Protocollagen proline hydroxylase (PPH) activity in the course of rebound of rat carrageenin granuloma was assyed to investigate its relationship with collagen blosynthesis. The specific activity of PPH which was inhibited significantly by treatments with hydrocortisone acetate 93mg/kg/day, 3days) was recovered near to the normal level by 48hr after the cessation of the corticoid treatments. The total enzyme activity of the granuloma of treated group was not yet recovered even on the 3rd day, still showing a significant difference from control. PPH activity expressed in terms of granuloma cells between control and the drug treated group, however, was changed showing no apparent difference throughout the experimental period. These results suggested that the synthesis of protocollagen(collagen precursor) rather than PPH activity was directly affected by administration and withdrawal of corticoid.

The effect of insulin on the collagen metabolism in dental pulp and gingiva was studied using Sprague-Dawley rat and ³H-proline was injected intraperitoneally and then sacrificed according to predetermined schedule. Lower incisor pulp and gingiva were removed immediatedly and hydrolysed with acid. After digestion, proline and hydroxyproline were separated and analysed quantitatively employing thin-layer chromatography and radioactivity of each amino acid was counted by liquid scintillation counter. The label incorporated into lower incisor pulp and gingiva and radioactivity of ³H-hydroxyproline were increased in insulin administered group. And disappearance rate of ³H-hydroxyproline was decreased. Those results indicated that amino acid, I.e. proline transport and collagen biosynthesis were increased in dental pulp and gingiva by insulin administration.

Capsaicin(8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide: CAP) known well as a major compound of not taste in hot pepper, was investigated for the inhibition effect on in vitro nitrosation. CAP(100$\mu$mol) inhibited the formation of N-nitrosoproline(NPRO) and N-nitrosothioproline(NTPRO) by 56% and 26%, respectively. Vanillyl alcohol inhibited the nitrosation of proline by a concentration-dependent manner, and vanillic acid and vanillin were less effective in blocking the nitrosation of proline compared to CAP and anillyl alcohol. The inhibitory effect of NPRO formation by CAP was evaluated to similar with alpha-tocopherol, and vanillyl alcohol was more effective than alpha-tocopherol in blocking the nitrosation of proline. Our results suggested that CAP and its metabolites such as vanillyl alcohol could inhibit endogenous nitrosation in hydrophobic biological environment.
