The results are also in conformity with Singh and Singh (1992) who reported that initiation of leaf fall coincides with the onset of the post-monsoon low temperature dry period and can be a mechanism maintaining turgidity of shoots.
In contrast, recent studies have clearly pointed out the crucial role of Cl− depletion, as opposed to volume depletion, as the main mechanism maintaining diuretic-induced metabolic alkalosis [32].
The emerging theme seems to support a mechanism maintaining chromatin plasticity in ESCs but without any dramatic changes in the organization and nuclear positioning of chromosomes and gene loci themselves.
The data also suggest that the mechanism maintaining insulin sensitivity in the absence of TNF-α may involve redirection of the fat deposition to the metabolically more inert subcutaneous depot or decreases in circulating resistin and resultant decrease in liver fat deposition.
Competition experiments between pairs of the most divergent colony morphs from each microcosm indicated that frequency-dependent selection was a likely mechanism maintaining diversity within microcosms.
Viral predation thereby provides the (non-neutral) mechanism maintaining microbial diversity and provides a solution to the apparent "paradox of the plankton" where seemingly redundant organisms coexist [15].
