Hermetic grain storage technology offers a viable chemical-free approach to control storage insects. However, there is limited knowledge on how hypoxia affects the survival of insect life stages during grain storage in hermetic bags. We exposed Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera:
Regulating the air in low-oxygen environments protects hermetically stored grains from storage pests damage. However, pests that can tolerate hypoxic stress pose a huge challenge in terms of grain storage. We used various biological approaches to determine the fundamental mechanisms of Tribolium
The quantities of energy reserves and their utilization were examined in adults of three strains of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) before and during exposure to two modified atmospheres. It was shown that a strain selected for resistance to high carbon dioxide (CO(2)) content (HCC) contained
