ANALYZING FREEZE-THAW DAMAGE TO THYLAKOID MEMBRANES.

Author(s) : SCHMITT J. M., HINCHA D. K.

Summary

THE AUTHORS FOCUS ON THE RESPONSES OF THYLAKOIDS TO FREEZING IN VITRO AND IN VIVO. THEY DESCRIBE THE FREEZING PROCESS, THE NATURE OF DETACHED PROTEINS, AND THE MECHANICAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY OSMOTIC CONTRACTION/EXPANSION, AND GIVE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF DAMAGE. THEY CONCLUDE, FURTHER, THAT ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL CHARACTERISTICS OF FREEZING INJURY CAN BE MODELLED SATISFACTORILY IN THE TEST TUBE, THE SIMULATION IS NOT FAITHFUL IN EVERY DETAIL. M. C.
