    About this ebook

    International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Biology: Zoology Division, Volume 34:The Cell and Environmental Temperature documents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Cytoecology held in Leningrad, U.S.S.R., from May 31 to June 5, 1965. This compilation focuses on the role of cellular reactions in the adaptation of multicellular organisms to environmental temperatures. The topics include the biochemical and physiological aspects of plant frost-resistance; mechanisms of resistance of poikilothermic animals to subfreezing temperatures; and changes in carbohydrate content of plants under heat-hardening. The analysis of seasonal changes in thermostability of frog muscles; effect of temperature on respiration and oxidative phosphorylation of pea seedlings; and metabolic and central nervous acclimation of fish to cold are also covered. This publication is intended for biologists concerned with the cytology, physiology, and ecology of plants and animals.

      How Membranes Let Microbes Live In Extreme Places

      Dec 10, 2018

      Within harsh environments like hot springs, volcanic craters, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents—uninhabitable by most life forms—microscopic organisms thrive. How? Scientists have discovered a protein that modifies a microbe’s membrane and helps it sur

      To Survive Cold, Some Plants Kill Part of Their Roots

      Some plants may selectively kill part of their roots in order to survive cold weather conditions, researchers have found. This approach allows the plants to withstand chilling stress and to recover faster when the weather turns better. The discovery
