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.

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 ...

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 ...

Effect of desiccation, starvation, heat, and cold stresses on the thermal resistance of Enterobacter sakazakii in rehydrated infant milk formula [PDF]
, 2008 Enterobacter sakazakii has been implicated in outbreaks of meningitis, septicemia, and necrotizing enterocolitis in immunocompromised and premature neonates. In this study, the effect of desiccation stress, starvation stress, heat shock and cold shock on

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).

A new model for the formation of microbial polygons in a coastal sabkha setting [PDF]
, 2017 The stratigraphic record of microbially induced sedimentary structures spans most of the depositional record. Today, microbes continue to generate, bind and modify sediments in a vast range of depositional environments.
