RESUMO
The effect of temperatures on cold acclimation and deacclimation in foliage tissues was studied in Solanum commersonii (Oka 4583), a tuber-bearing potato. The threshold temperature for cold acclimation was about 12 C. In a temperature range of 2 to 12 C, the increase in hardiness was dependent on the acclimating temperature; the lower the acclimating temperature, the more hardiness achieved. A day/night temperature of 2 C, regardless of photoperiod, appeared to the optimum acclimating temperature for the Solanum species studied. A subfreezing temperature hardened plants less effectively. The maximum level of hardiness could be reached after 15 days of cold acclimation. However, it took only 1 day to deacclimate the hardened plants to a preacclimation level when plants were subjected to a warm regime from cold. The degree of deacclimation was dependent on the temperature of the warm regime.
