Fig. 3From: Membrane and lipid metabolism plays an important role in desiccation resistance in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaeRupture and folding of the nuclear membrane caused by desiccation. Wild type cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days to stationary phase, then dried for 14 days, showing the nuclear membrane rupture (arrow in a and b), circular ER structure (boxed area in b), and outward folding of the nuclear membrane (boxed area in c).
