Abstract—Ceratoides lanata is the native sand-fixing plant in of plant antifreeze activity involves the increasing deserts of America Continent. As an even-green undershrub with accumulation of some free amino acids and augment of extremely strong antifreeze capability, Ceratoides lanata had been unsaturation degree of fatty acids in membrane lipid [2-3]. considered as the winterfat and introduced into many countries However, researches about the relationship between plant including China. To explore the mechanism of cold resistance antifreeze activity and some newly found substance by ic and to clone genes directly involving the strong antifreeze engineering in recent years suggested that freeze-resistant capability, a normalized cold-stressed full-length cDNA library plants are directly related to the in vivo expressed antifreeze was constructed from
