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

A footprint of desiccation tolerance in the genome of Xerophyta viscosa [PDF]

Nature Plants, 2017
Desiccation tolerance is common in seeds and various other organisms, but only a few angiosperm species possess vegetative desiccation tolerance. These ‘resurrection species’ may serve as ideal models for the ultimate design of crops with enhanced ...

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.

Desiccation Tolerance: Avoiding Cellular Damage During Drying and Rehydration

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2020
Desiccation of plants is often lethal but is tolerated by the majority of seeds and by vegetative tissues of only a small number of land plants. Desiccation tolerance is an ancient trait, lost from vegetative tissues following the appearance of tracheids

Comparative study of gamma radiation tolerance between desiccation-sensitive and desiccation-tolerant tardigrades

Zoological Science
Tardigrades are small metazoans renowned for their exceptional tolerance against various harsh environments in a dehydrated state. Some species exhibited an extraordinary tolerance against high-dose irradiation even in a hydrated state.

Tolerance to environmental desiccation in moss sperm

New Phytologist, 2012
Sexual reproduction in mosses requires that sperm be released freely into the environment before finding and fertilizing a receptive female. After release from the male plant, moss sperm may experience a range of abiotic stresses; however, few data are ...

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

Sex Differences in Desiccation Tolerance Varies by Colony in the Mesic Liverwort Plagiochila porelloides

Plants, 2022
Water scarcity, a common stress factor, negatively impacts plant performance. Strategies to cope with it, such as desiccation tolerance, are becoming increasingly important to investigate.
