Biophysical and Physiological Responses Promoting Freeze Tolerance in Vertebrates
Amphibians and reptiles inhabiting temperate areas are confronted with seasonal cold from which they seek refuge within thermally buffered aquatic or terrestrial microenvironments. However, some species, particularly those that overwinter in relatively shallow and poorly insulated hibernacula, are exposed to subzero temperatures. Organisms may survive such episodes by avoiding crystallization (...
متن کاملPhysiological responses of freeze-tolerant and -intolerant frogs: clues to evolution of anuran freeze tolerance.
Freeze tolerance in the wood frog, Rana sylvatica, is promoted by multiple, integrated physiological responses to ice forming within body tissues. By analyzing the freezing responses of the sympatric, but freeze intolerant, leopard frog (R. pipiens), we sought clues to the evolution of anuran freeze tolerance. Physiological responses critical to R. sylvatica's freeze tolerance, such as the synt...
متن کاملEvaluation of Biochemical and Physiological Responses of Seven Olive Cultivars in Relation to Freezing Tolerance
Abstract: Temperature is one of the most important factors limiting the production and distribution of olive. Different olive cultivars show diverse responses to low temperature and so, the selection of cold tolerant cultivars is the most effective method to avoid frost damages. The main purpose of this study was to compare freezing tolerance of seven olive cultivars and to investigate the rel...
متن کاملIce Nucleation in Freeze - Tolerant Vertebrates
The survival of freeze-tolerant vertebrates requires that ice nucleation in tissues be initiated at relatively high temperatures. Three current hypotheses for the initiation of freezing in these animals are: a) inoculation by contact with ice crystals in the external environment; b) nucleation by ice-nucleating bacteria associated with the animal; and c) nucleation by icenucleating proteins in ...
متن کاملTolerance and physiological responses of Phragmites australis to water deficit
The water stress tolerance of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin ex. Steud. grown in the laboratory were investigated by examining effects of different levels of imposed water deficits on growth, photosynthesis and various physiological traits related to water stress. Individual plants were grown under conditions of unrestricted water supply and compared with groups of plants receiving 60, 30, 15...
