Effects of cold acclimation, cooling rate and heat stress on cold tolerance of the potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of cold acclimation, cooling rate and heat stress on supercooling capacity and cold hardiness of the potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). Supercooling points (SCP) of first and last instar larvae, pr...
