This represents the so called « risk of frost damage » that is more than the simple likelihood of a freezing event and involves complex phenomenon that depend on numerous biotic and abiotic factors. Characterizing the impact of these factors on the risk of frost damage is particularly important for fruit trees, in order to develop new frost protection measures. Quantification of the abundance of ice nucleation active bacteria and immersion tests of ice nucleation activity on dissected and undissected stems and reproductive organs of apricot trees are providing a better understanding of the conditions leading to ice formation in apricot tissues. Our results show that ice nucleation active bacteria are not involved in ice nucleation of plant material. These results contribute to distinguishing between the role of intrinsicfactors (i.e. linked to the plant itself) and extrinsic factors (i.e. linked to ice nucleation active microorganisms) in the nucleation process.
