Previously published results showed that high relative reduction state of PSII (PSII excitation pressure) during both early seedling growth (prehardening) as well as cold deacclimation caused significant changes in growth pattern. The differences in elongation growth rate were related to the cold acclimation of photosynthetic apparatus and to frost resistance. To study changes in the hormonal balance connected with alterations in elongation growth rate observed during prehardening and deacclimation under different PSII excitation pressure (modulated by day-temperatures), endogenous concentration of ABA, GA3 and GA-like substances (GAs) were analysed. Analyses were also performed during cold acclimation and reacclimation of plants characterized by different elongation growth rate triggered by prehardening or deacclimation under different day-temperatures. Growth under high PSII excitation pressure (prehardening) resulted in a significant increase in ABA and a considerable decrease in GAs contents. On the other hand, different ABA content played almost no role in controlling growth rate during cold deacclimation and subsequent reacclimation, when the induction of elongation growth was connected with the changes in concentration of GAs including GA3. The possible role of ABA and GAs in controlling prehardening, cold acclimation and deacclimation is discussed
