Term of the Day

Metabolic quiescence

Basic Technical IVT

A dormant state in which organisms drastically reduce metabolic activity and energy consumption to survive prolonged abiotic stress. This reversible condition allows survival during unfavorable environmental periods with minimal resource depletion.
