Micropropagation is a tool for large-scale reproduction of planting material viticulture sustainability. Successful micropropagation depends on the continued productivity plantlets during acclimatization phase. Due to high humidity in culture container and free water environment, it causes rapid loss drying with watery stems leaves, poorly developed cuticle, large intercellular space, incomplet...

Diving acclimatization refers to a reduced susceptibility to acute decompression sickness (DCS) in individuals undergoing repeated compression-decompression cycles. We demonstrated in a previous study that the mechanism responsible for this acclimatization is similar to that of stress preconditioning. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of prior DCS preconditioning on the sever...

INTRODUCTION In the course of a study of hybrid vigour in Drosophila subobscura it was desired to investigate the effects of inbreeding and of outcrossing on a character which can undergo adaptive modification during development. Since it was known from the work of Mellanby (1939, 1954) that some insects can become acclimatized to changes in temperature, it was decided to study this capacity in...

We tested the hypothesis that the decline in muscle sympathetic activity during and after 8 h of poikilocapnic hypoxia (Hx) was associated with a greater sympathetic baroreflex-mediated responsiveness. In 10 healthy men and women (n=2), we measured beat-to-beat blood pressure (Portapres), carotid artery distension (ultrasonography), heart period, and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (SNA; micr...
