Mechanical properties of plastics can be determined by short, single-point quaUty control tests and longer, generally multipoint or multiple condition procedures that relate to fundamental polymer properties. Single-point tests iaclude tensile, compressive, flexural, shear, and impact properties of plastics creep, heat aging, creep mpture, and environmental stress-crackiag tests usually result ia multipoint curves or tables for comparison of the original response to post-exposure response.

Very large Serine/Threonine kinases and the molecular Target of Rapamycin, a naturally occurring secondary metabolite, TOR proteins function within multiprotein complexes to couple cell growth and stress responses to environmental and developmental cues. 

Enhancement of the human HS response may eventually be a clinical goal in dealing with the aging population which may be more susceptible to environmental stress. Several investigators have now shown an age-dependent defect in the regulation of the HS response at the transcriptional level (Fargnoli et al., 1990). This defect has been observed in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and in...

There are several aspects of different environmental stresses that either have common features or the plant responses or adaptations to those stresses may have common components or indicate general principles. It is an objective of this volume to identify such features where they exist so as to help in the development of stress-tolerant crop plants by making the best use of the newer techniques of molecular biology. Particular examples will be discussed in more detail in succeeding chapters. 

The techniques of molecular biology have particular potential for rapidly introducing small numbers of single genes. Unfortunately there is strong evidence that the complex compensation mechanisms that exist in plants, and the interactions between different whole-plant and biochemical responses to stress, will make the direct improvement of environmental stress tolerance in crop plants by genetic engineering rather more difficult...

In addition to the mechanisms of stress response so far considered, there are several others which have attracted the attention of plant ecologists. These include innate or environmentally determined forms of dormancy in seeds, spores, and vegetative buds, many of which represent adaptive responses restricting plant growth and development to favourable seasons or sites. Dormancy has been the subject of numerous publications and will not be considered here. Instead, opportunity will be taken to refer to two forms of plant response to stress which until recently have received only scarce attention. The first is the phenomenon of stored growth whilst the second involves the response of the developing shoot to mechanical impedance.
