Summary

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES ASSOCIATED WITH FREEZE-TOLERANCE OF P. MACHAON DIAPAUSING PUPAE WERE STUDIED UNDER EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS. FREEZE-TOLERANCE MARKEDLY INCREASED AFTER COLD ACCLIMATION AT 278 K (5C), BUT DECREASED BY PROLONGED CHILLING. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GLYCEROL WAS ACCUMULATED BY DIAPAUSING PUPAE AFTER THE COLD ACCLIMATION. THE DEGREE OF FREEZE-TOLERANCE SEEMED TO BE CLOSELY RELATED WITH HEMOLYMPH GLYCEROL CONTENT.
