Presenting an analysis of the water relationships of the major
groups of organisms: fungi, plants and animals, the text examines
water stress at all levels of biological organization. Topics
covered include: 1) organic osmotic agents: their distributions,
modes of action, and mechanisms of regulation; 2) desiccation
stress; mechanisms for preserving cellu lar integrity under
conditions of low cellular water activity; 3) water stress and
water compartmentation in plants; and 4) freezing stress: the
prevention and regulation of ice formation in biological fluids,
and mechanisms for overcoming the damaging effects of low
temperatures on cellular integrity. Common adaptive strategies in
diverse organisms are emphasized, as well as the fundamental
physical-chemical properties of aqueous solutions that establish
the nature of the interactions among water, low molecular weight
solutes and macromolecules.
