ABSTRACT. 1 Cold hardiness as measured by supercooling ability in the active stages of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae (F.) decreased progressively with maturation. 2 Aphids showed no acclimation response when maintained at low temperatures. 3 Starvation did not improve supercooling ability. 4 In a single exposure, surface moisture caused inoculation above the inherent supercooling point in a small proportion of a population. 5 Field populations show a seasonal change in supercooling ability, which is at a maximum in summer and a minimum in late winter. 6 It is concluded that the act of feeding on healthy plant tissue may confer extensive supercooling ability.
