Although Lepore states that the nuclear-winter debate has "long since been forgotten," research done in the past ten years, using modern climate models, has shown that the theory of nuclear winter — which says that smoke from fires started by nuclear detonation will block sunlight, causing the Earth to become drastically colder — was correct.
Overall, the muscle-specific concentrations of T3 and T2 in our study decreased drastically with cold acclimation, when their effects were most pronounced.
Insect metabolism for many species slows drastically in the cold or in other unfavorable conditions, a shutdown called diapause.
However, the levels of Spm were much higher in nonacclimated Thellungiella leaves, but were drastically reduced during cold acclimation.
In particular, the expression levels of PvC3H29 and PvC3H39, orthologs to OsDOS, were drastically induced by cold treatment (27- and 138-fold changes, respectively).
The situation could worsen drastically as the coldest winter temperatures usually occur around August or September.
At the same time, the improved performance of cryogenic devices, such as sensors and cold electronics, has drastically enlarged their utilisation, creating new perspectives for space-based applications.
Concentration of VOCs is drastically reduced already after 6 h of cold storage, and thereafter, it stabilizes at a low level for the remaining cold storage period.
However, BrMYB261 (an ortholog of AtMYB28) had no response to cold treatment, but was induced drastically by osmotic stress.
Because cassava is native to tropical regions, it is extremely cold-sensitive; its growth is drastically affected at temperatures lower than 18°C, and the plant cannot survive for long after exposure to freezing conditions [ 3]–[ 5].
