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 ...

The Re-Establishment of Desiccation Tolerance in Germinated Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds and Its Associated Transcriptome [PDF]
, 2011 The combination of robust physiological models with “omics” studies holds promise for the discovery of genes and pathways linked to how organisms deal with drying. Here we used a transcriptomics approach in combination with an in vivo physiological model

ScATG8 Gene Cloned from Desert Moss Syntrichia caninervis Exhibits Multiple Stress Tolerance
Plants, 2023 Syntrichia caninervis is the dominant species of biological soil crust in the desert, including the Gurbantunggut Desert in China. It is widely distributed in drylands and considered to be a new model of vegetative desiccation tolerance moss.

Stability and Synthesis of Phospholipids during Desiccation and Rehydration of a Desiccation-Tolerant and a Desiccation-Intolerant Moss [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1982 The fatty acid composition of the phospholipids from the desiccation-tolerant moss Tortula ruralis (Hedw.) Gaertn, Meyer and Scherb and the desiccation-intolerant moss Cratoneuron filicinum has been determined. No changes in composition occur in either moss as a consequence of rapid drying, but, after slow drying, there is a decline in some unsaturated

Desiccation of rock pool habitats and its influence onpopulation persistence in a Daphnia metacommunity [PDF]
, 2009 Habitat instability has an important influence on species' occurrence and community composition. For freshwater arthropods that occur in ephemeral rock pools, the most drastic habitat instabilities are droughts and the intermittent availability of water.
