In addition, because of the high osmotic pressure generated by sucrose, the perivitelline spaces of mouse oocytes were enlarged.
Osmotic potential was determined by rupturing membranes in the tissue by freezing.
Seeds submitted to the lower osmotic potentials were covered by much more mucilage than normal.
This is a very fragile membrane that is susceptible to osmotic changes which can greatly alter its size, shape and texture.
When acrosome breakdown was induced by osmotic shock, 15% of the population presented intense fluorescence at the anterior tip of the head.
Firstly, cellular necrosis as a direct result of physical cryoinjury sustained through ice crystallization or osmotic shock.
Osmotic and salt stressinduced alteration in soluble carbohydrate content in wheat seedlings.
The water potential at the water source in the underlying soil (also affected by osmotic, matric, and gravitational potentials) serves as the reference potential.
