Exogenous K+ enhances the desiccation tolerance and adhesion of Pseudomonas protegens SN15-2 [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionPseudomonas protegens is an important plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium capable of both suppressing phytopathogens and enhancing plant growth. The ability of P.

Regulatory dynamics distinguishing desiccation tolerance strategies within resurrection grasses [PDF]

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).

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.

Metabolite Profiling in Green Microalgae with Varying Degrees of Desiccation Tolerance [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
Trebouxiophyceae are microalgae occupying even extreme environments such as polar regions or deserts, terrestrial or aquatic, and can occur free-living or as lichen photobionts.

Life on the dry side: a roadmap to understanding desiccation tolerance and accelerating translational applications [PDF]

Nature Communications
To thrive in extreme conditions, organisms have evolved a diverse arsenal of adaptations that confer resilience. These species, their traits, and the mechanisms underlying them comprise a valuable resource that can be mined for numerous conceptual ...

The Orthodox Dry Seeds Are Alive: A Clear Example of Desiccation Tolerance [PDF]

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

Desiccation Tolerance of Epiphytic Macrolichens in an Evergreen Temperate Rain Forest (Alerce Costero National Park, Chile) [PDF]

Plants
The Valdivian region has a temperate rainy climate with differences in rainfall throughout the year. This heterogeneity results in periods of summer drought that expose the poikilohydric epiphytes to desiccation.

Profiling of phenolic compounds in desiccation‐tolerant and non‐desiccation‐tolerant Linderniaceae [PDF]

Phytochemical Analysis, 2020
AbstractIntroductionCraterostigma plantagineum and Lindernia brevidens are resurrection plants, so these plants can tolerate desiccation of their vegetative tissues. Different components and mechanisms contribute to desiccation tolerance and secondary plant metabolites, like phenolic compounds, may play a role during these processes.ObjectivesSecondary

Genome-Wide Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genes Important for Desiccation Tolerance on Inanimate Surfaces

mSystems, 2022
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen prevalent in the environment and in health care settings. Transmission in the health care setting occurs through human-human interactions and/or contact with contaminated surfaces.

Sugars and Desiccation Tolerance in Seeds [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1988
Soluble sugars have been shown to protect liposomes and lobster microsomes from desiccation damage, and a protective role has been proposed for them in several anhydrous systems. We have studied the relationship between soluble sugar content and the loss of desiccation tolerance in the axes of germinating soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv Williams), pea
