书目名称 | Water and Life | 副标题 | Comparative Analysis | 编辑 | George Nicholls Somero,Charles Barry Osmond,Carla | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Presenting an analysis of the water relationships of the major groups of organisms: fungi, plants and animals, the text examines water stress at all levels of biological organization. Topics covered include: 1) organic osmotic agents: their distributions, modes of action, and mechanisms of regulation; 2) desiccation stress; mechanisms for preserving cellu lar integrity under conditions of low cellular water activity; 3) water stress and water compartmentation in plants; and 4) freezing stress: the prevention and regulation of ice formation in biological fluids, and mechanisms for overcoming the damaging effects of low temperatures on cellular integrity. Common adaptive strategies in diverse organisms are emphasized, as well as the fundamental physical-chemical properties of aqueous solutions that establish the nature of the interactions among water, low molecular weight solutes and macromolecules. | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1992 | 关键词 | Anpassung; Desiccation stress; Kälte; Trockenheit; Wasser; adaption; freezing stress; fungi; osmoregulation; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-76682-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-76684-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-76682-4 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1992 |
