Summary

SLOW FREEZING CAUSED DEFORMATION-INDUCED INTRAMEMBRANE PARTICLE (IMP) AGGREGATION IN PLASMA MEMBRANES OF TERTIARY HYPHAE FROM ALL (15 SPECIES) MUSHROOMS EXAMINED. PERCENT NUMBER OF OCCURRENCE OF FREEZING INJURY AND PERCENT NUMBER OF HYPHAE SHOWING DEFORMATION-INDUCED IMP AGGREGATION SHOWED GOOD CORRESPONDENCE. FROM THE RESULTS IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE DEFORMATION-INDUCED IMP AGGREGATION, WHICH WAS PRODUCED BY MECHANICAL FORCE CAUSED BY THE GROWTH OF EXTRACELLULAR ICE CRYSTALS, MIGHT BE A WIDESPREAD, PRIMARY CAUSE OF FREEZING INJURY IN TERTIARY HYPHAE OF MUSHROOMS.
