Author(s) : CAPLE G.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ICE NUCLEATING PROPERTIES OF SUPERCOOLED AQUEOUS SEED EXTRACTS AND SUPERNATANT LIQUIDS IN WHICH UNDAMAGED YOUNG PLANTS WERE GROWN HAVE BEEN DETERMINED USING DROP FREEZING TECHNIQUES. IN THE PRESENCE OF ICE NUCLEATION INITIATORS THE BIOGENIC MATERIALS WILL INHIBIT THE FORMATION OF ICE. THESE INHIBITORY MATERIALS HAVE A TENDENCY TO ENHANCE ICE NUCLEATION AT COLDER TEMPERATURES, EFFECTIVELY COMPRESSING THE NUCLEATION INTO NARROW TEMPERATURE RANGES.
