COLD ACCLIMATION, INOCULATIVE FREEZING AND SLOW COOLING: ESSENTIAL FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE FREEZING-TOLERANCE IN DIAPAUSING LARVAE OF CHYMOMYZA COSTATA (DIPTERA: DROSOPHILIDAE).

Author(s) : SHIMADA K., RIIHIMAA A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

DIAPAUSING LARVAE OF CHYMOMYZA COSTATA ARE POTENTIALLY TOLERANT TO FREEZING AT ABOUT 193 K (-80 DEG C). THE LARVAE EXHIBIT THEIR FREEZING-TOLERANCE WHEN ACCLIMATED TO TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 273 AND 283 K (0 AND 10 DEG C) FOR 1 MONTH OR LONGER. THE FULL EXTENT OFFREEZING-TOLERANCE IS EXPRESSED WHEN THEY ARE INITIATED TO FREEZE AT ABOUT 271 K (-2 DEG C) BY CONTACT WITH ICE AND COOLED AT 1.7 MILLIK/SEC.
