Molecular responses to dehydration and desiccation in desiccation-tolerant angiosperm plants [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018 Due to the ability to tolerate extreme dehydration, desiccation-tolerant plants have been widely investigated to find potential approaches for improving water use efficiency or developing new crop varieties. The studies of desiccation-tolerant plants have identified sugar accumulation, specific protein synthesis, cell structure changes, and increased ...

Experiences with electrophysical desiccation in early potatoes from Rhineland-Palatinate
Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2023 Electrophysical desiccation of early potatoes was tested as a non-chemical tool to reduce herbicide use. Therefore, the XPower device (Zasso®) was tested at three sites (Rhineland-Palatinate) in three trial years (2020–2022) with two driving speeds and ...

An Experimental Evolution Test of the Relationship between Melanism and Desiccation Survival in Insects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We used experimental evolution to test the 'melanism-desiccation' hypothesis, which proposes that dark cuticle in several Drosophila species is an adaptation for increased desiccation tolerance.

Protein Aggregation is Associated with Acinetobacter baumannii Desiccation Tolerance
Microorganisms, 2020 Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of the bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii on dry surfaces. Here we explore several factors influencing desiccation survival of A. baumannii.

Measuring desiccation-induced tensile stress during cracking process
Soils and Foundations, 2021 The desiccation cracking of soil occurs when shrinkage is restricted during the drying process and the induced tensile stress equals the tensile strength.
