Author(s) : STEPONKUS P. L.

Type of monograph: Other

Summary

The authors study the effects of low temperatures and ice formation, which are of profound importance in many subdivisions of biology, including entomology, microbiology, medical science, veterinary medicine and food science. Volume 1: extract from the table of contents: cryopreservation of plant tissue by vitrification; thermodynamics and intracellular ice formation; biochemical adaptations for winter survival in insects; protein stability under conditions of deep chill; photosynthetic acclimation to light and low temperature in freezing-tolerant plants and psychrophilic microalgae; vitrification and devitrification in cryopreservation. Volume 2: extract from the table of contents: nucleation of ice crystals inside biological cells; freeze-drying of red blood cells; cellular adaptations for freezing survival of amphibians and reptiles; genes induced during cold acclimation in higher plants; cryostability of the plasma membrane, etc.
