The restoring influence of priming treatments on germination of Smooth vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) under drought stress and maintaining this advantage following aging by using post priming heat shock treatment [PDF]
Zīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2018 Seed priming often promotes germination and seedling growth under environmental stresses yet as main negative aspect, primed seeds are vulnerable to aging process.

Transport kinetics of ectoine, an osmolyte produced by Brevibacterium epidermis [PDF]
, 2006 Brevibacterium epidermis DSM 20659 is a halotolerant Gram-positive bacterium which can synthesize the osmolyte, ectoine, but prefers to take it up from its environment. The present study revealed that B.

Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
Nature Materials, 2011 Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow of water alleviates the salt concentration gradient.

Osmotic Shock and the Strength of Viral Capsids [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2003 Osmotic shock is a familiar means for rupturing viral capsids and exposing their genomes intact. The necessary conditions for providing this shock involve incubation in high-concentration salt solutions, and lower permeability of the capsids to salt ions than to water molecules.

TRPV4 Contributes to Resting Membrane Potential in Retinal Müller Cells: Implications in Cell Volume Regulation [PDF]
, 2017 Neural activity alters osmotic gradients favoring cell swelling in retinal Müller cells. This swelling is followed by a regulatory volume decrease (RVD), partially mediated by an efflux of KCl and water. The transient receptor potential channel 4 (TRPV4),
