Topical application of ice-nucleating-active bacteria decreases insect cold tolerance
The majority of overwintering insects avoid lethal freezing by lowering the temperature at which ice spontaneously nucleates within their body fluids. We examined the effect of ice-nucleating-active bacteria on the ...
Ice-nucleating active bacteria decrease the cold-hardiness of stored grain insects.
This report provides further evidence that a freeze-dried, concentrated form of Pseudomonas syringae, an ice-nucleating active bacteria, reduces the cold tolerance of stored grain insect pests. Application of ice-nucleating ...
Ice nucleating active bacteria reduce the cold-hardiness of the freeze-intolerant Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).
In laboratory experiments, a freeze-dried concentrated form of the icenucleating active bacteria, Pseudomonas syringae, was used to decrease the supercooling capacity of field-collected diapausing Colorado potato beetles, ...
Anatomic site of application of ice-nucleating active bacteria affects supercooling in the Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Most overwintering insects do not survive internal freezing and must avoid low temperatures or enhance the capacity of their body fluids to supercool to survive low temperature exposure. Recent reports have demonstrated ...
Identification of ice nucleating active Pseudomonas fluorescens strains for biological control of overwintering Colorado potato beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).
Laboratory studies were conducted to identify ice-nucleating active bacterial strains able to elevate the supercooling point, the temperature at which freezing is initiated in body fluids, of Colorado potato beetles, ...
