Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to changes in external osmolarity

Abstract
A few years ago, knowledge about the molecular and genetic details of osmoregulatory processes was confined to prokaryotes (reviewed by Csonka, 1989; Csonka & Hanson, 1991). Recently, however, numerous reports have been published describing genes, or their products, involved in the response of eukaryotic organisms to changes in the external osmolarity.FCT (formerly known as JNICT
