Hygrosensation: Feeling Wet and Cold
نویسندگان
چکیده
Identification of ionotropic receptors required for hygrosensation in Drosophila supports the notion that hygrosensory neurons across insects share common morphological and anatomical features. This further advances the field by uncovering central circuits that respond to both humidity and temperature.

Ecology of seed dormancy and germination of Carex divisa Huds.: Effects of stratification, temperature and salinity
Carex divisa is a patrimonial rhizomatous species and acts as an important component of grazed wet permanent grassland on the French Atlantic coast. This study treated three storage regimes (wet-cold, dry-cold and dry-warm), burial in soil, fluctuating temperature and salinity on seed germination of C. divisa. The seeds were dormant at maturity. No seed germinated after 2 and 6 weeks of dry sto...
متن کاملEffect of Pulsing and Wet Cold Storage on the Quality and Vase Life of Cut Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) ‘Fado’
Floriculture is among Kenya’s top foreign exchange earners. Gladiolus is one of the four famous cut flowers in the world whose popularity in Kenya is attributed to its heat tolerance, many spike forms and color combinations. However, the perishable nature of the flower renders it vulnerable to huge post-harvest losses. The study aimed to evaluate pulsing effect of cut Gladiolus</em...
متن کاملHumidity sensation, cockroaches, worms, and humans: are common sensory mechanisms for hygrosensation shared across species?
Although the ability to detect humidity (i.e., hygrosensation) represents an important sensory attribute in many animal species (including humans), the neurophysiological and molecular bases of such sensory ability remain largely unknown in many animals. Recently, Russell and colleagues (Russell J, Vidal-Gadea AG, Makay A, Lanam C, Pierce-Shimomura JT. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 111: 8269-8274, 201...
متن کاملTRP Channels: It's Not the Heat, It's the Humidity
The ability to sense dry or moist air - hygrosensation - is conserved widely, but the underlying mechanisms are obscure. A recent study has shown that TRP channels are required for hygrosensation in Drosophila, further expanding the repertoire of sensory modalities mediated by TRP channels.
