The present invention relates to the use of proteins facilitating water diffusion or water transport through the cell membrane, preferably aquaporin or aquaporin related proteins to obtain freeze-tolerant eukaryotic cells, preferably yeast cells or plant cells. It relates further to a method for obtaining such cells, and to freeze-tolerant cells, characterized by an enhanced expression level of proteins facilitating water diffusion or water transport through the cell membrane.
L'invention concerne l'utilisation de prot~ines facilitant la diffusion ou le transport d'eau ~ travers la membrane cellulaire, de pr~f~rence, l'aquaporine ou des prot~ines relatives ~ l'aquaporine, de manire ~ obtenir des cellules eucaryotes tol~rant le gel, de pr~f~rence des cellules de levure ou des cellules v~g~tales. L'invention concerne ~galement un proc~d~ permettant d'obtenir de telles cellules et des cellules tol~rant le gel, caract~ris~es par un niveau accru d'expression de prot~ines facilitant la diffusion ou le transport d'eau ~ travers la membrane cellulaire.
