Effects of Rate of Drying, Life History Phase, and Ecotype on the Ability of the Moss Bryum Argenteum to Survive Desiccation Events and the Influence on Conservation and Selection of Material for Restoration [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Desiccation stress is frequently experienced by the moss Bryum argenteum and can influence survival, propagation and niche selection. We attempted to disentangle the interacting factors of life history phase (five categories) and rate of desiccation ...

Characterization of the Desiccation Tolerance of Cronobacter sakazakii Strains
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Strong desiccation tolerance is an outstanding feature of Cronobacter sakazakii and can enable the bacterium to survive in a dry food matrix (such as milk powder) for a long time.

Intertwined signatures of desiccation and drought tolerance in grasses
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Desiccation tolerance likely evolved independently several times in grasses, providing an ideal comparative system to identify genetic elements controlling this trait.

Unexplored dimensions of variability in vegetative desiccation tolerance.
American-Eurasian journal of botany, 2021 Desiccation tolerance has evolved recurrently across diverse land plant lineages as an adaptation for survival in regions where seasonal rainfall drives periodic drying of vegetative tissues.

Desiccation-induced fibrous condensation of CAHS protein from an anhydrobiotic tardigrade
Scientific Reports, 2021 Anhydrobiosis, one of the most extensively studied forms of cryptobiosis, is induced in certain organisms as a response to desiccation. Anhydrobiotic species has been hypothesized to produce substances that can protect their biological components and/or ...

The Orthodox Dry Seeds Are Alive: A Clear Example of Desiccation Tolerance
Plants, 2021 To survive in the dry state, orthodox seeds acquire desiccation tolerance. As maturation progresses, the seeds gradually acquire longevity, which is the total timespan during which the dry seeds remain viable. The desiccation-tolerance mechanism(s) allow

The effect of spruce plantation density on resilience of mixed forests in the Perm Krai [PDF]
, 2019 Over the course of the last few decades, many countries across the globe have experienced mass desiccation of spruce plantations. The subject of our research was the spruce forests of the Russian Perm Krai's mixed forest zone.

The effect of desiccation on the emission of volatile bromocarbons from two common temperate macroalgae [PDF]
, 2014 Exposure of intertidal macroalgae during low tide has been linked to the emission of a variety of atmospherically-important trace gases into the coastal atmosphere.
