Slow and Fast Desiccation of Single-cell Thick Fronds of Filmy Ferns
Bio-Protocol, 2018 Filmy ferns can desiccate and recover after rehydration to resume photosynthesis. Slow and fast desiccation rates were compared in filmy fern fronds to determine whether structural or physiological differences may occur between desiccation rates.

Desiccation Tolerance as the Basis of Long-Term Seed Viability
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Desiccation tolerance appeared as the key adaptation feature of photoautotrophic organisms for survival in terrestrial habitats. During the further evolution, vascular plants developed complex anatomy structures and molecular mechanisms to maintain the ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation promotes animal desiccation tolerance
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Recent research has shown that intracellular proteinaceous condensates (membraneless organelles [MLOs]) are involved in various processes, ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to RNA processing, and here we demonstrate that this phenomenon ...

Renal neuroendocrine control of desiccation and cold tolerance by Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Neuropeptides are central to the regulation of physiological, and behavioural processes in insects, directly impacting cold and desiccation survival.

Regulatory dynamics distinguishing desiccation tolerance strategies within resurrection grasses
Plant Direct, 2022 Desiccation tolerance has evolved recurrently in grasses using two unique strategies of either protecting or dismantling the photosynthetic apparatus to minimize photooxidative damage under life without water (anhydrobiosis).

Discernment of Acinetobacter Species in World Scenario
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023 The morphology of Acinetobacter species is Gram-negative, nonmotile, nonfermenting, Strictly aerobic, Oxidase negative, and Catalase positive. It usually results from an infectious agent and is nonpathogenic in healthy people. A.

Effect of (Changes in) Air Humidity on Transpiration and (Adaptation of) Stomatal Closure of Tradescantia Leaves during Water Stress [PDF]
, 2009 This paper summarises our recent research on the physiological effects of prolonged high RH during growth on stomatal function and we discuss possibilities that arise from this work for reducing postharvest quality problems in cut flowers.

Effect of Nitrogen Starvation on Desiccation Tolerance of Arctic Microcoleus Strains (Cyanobacteria)
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Although desiccation tolerance of Microcoleus species is a well-known phenomenon, there is very little information about their limits of desiccation tolerance in terms of cellular water content, the survival rate of their cells, and the environmental ...
