THE EFFECT OF LOW TEMPERATURE ON THE ASCORBIC ACID CONTENT OF THE OVOTESTIS OF THE SLUG, ARION SUBFUSCUS (DRAPARNAUD)
Keyword(s):
The amount of ascorbic acid in the slug Arion subfuscus has been estimated quantitatively at laboratory temperatures and at 0°–2 °C. The results show that the effect of the exposure to the low temperature reduces the amount-present in the ovotestis significantly. In general, the amount of ascorbic acid in the cold treated animals does not exceed that of the controls. This result does not agree with the cytological appearance of the ovotestis exposed to the same conditions, in which the cold treated animals show an increased number of granules of ascorbic acid after an initial decrease.
