Freezing and thawing of winter rape leaves was found to cause a marked decrease of total phospholipid content in general, and that of phosphatidyl choline in particular. In the highly injured leaves the decrease of phosphatidyl choline was irreversible, and it was accompanied by a marked increase of phosphatidic acid. In the slightly damaged leaves no phosphatidic acid accumulation was detected, irrespective of phosphatidyl choline decrease. Instead of phosphatidic acid, the phosphatidyl glycerol or an unidentified P-containing lipid increased after thawing in leaves hardened to the first (T(, k50) = 8 deg C) or to the second (T(, k50) = 13.5 deg C) level, respectively. Frost hardening was found to promote phospholipid recovery after freezing and to increase phospholipid content, including that of phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine. Possible association of frost hardening with modified phospholipase-D properties is suggested
