The Physiology of Tolerance to Desiccation
1995Several physiological mechanisms are involved in the maintenance of water balance in terrestrial arthropods. Combined with the behavioural avoidance of the most stressful exposures to drought, physiological adaptations to reduce water losses are a requirement for life in arid environments.

Impact of amphiphile partitioning on desiccation tolerance.
2009Sugars are reputed to protect membranes in dehydrated desiccation-tolerant organisms, such as seeds and pollens. They interact with the polar headgroups of the membrane phospholipids and control the gel-to-liquid crystalline transition temperature (Tm).

Desiccation tolerance: Seedy origins of resurrection
Nature Plants, 2017Resurrection plants can survive extreme drying during periods of prolonged drought stress, maintaining a quiescent state for months to years until the return of water. Analysis of the genome and transcriptome of the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa links the evolution of desiccation tolerance to rewired pre-existing seed pathways.

Desiccation Tolerance Assays for Acinetobacter baumannii
2019Acinetobacter baumannii is a hospital-associated pathogen of growing importance and is a paradigm for endemic hospital contamination. Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of A. baumannii in clinical settings through contaminated healthcare equipment and personnel.

Desiccation and radiation stress tolerance in cyanobacteria
Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2018Cyanobacteria are among the oldest living organisms on this planet, existing since more than 3 billion years. They are ideal organisms for investigating biological processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, circadian rhythm, photoregulation of gene expression, developmental gene rearrangements, and specialized cell differentiation.

Mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in cyanobacteria
European Journal of Phycology, 1999Drying of cells leads to damage resulting from crowding of cytoplasmic components, condensation of the nucleoid, increases in the Tm of membrane phase transitions, and imposition of stress upon cell walls. Prolonged desiccation leads to oxidation of proteins, DNA and membrane components through metal-dependent Fenton reactions, while Maillard reactions

Desiccation tolerance: a simple process?
Trends in Microbiology, 2001Water is essential for life, and thus the removal of water from a cell is a severe, often lethal stress. This is not a remarkable observation but it is one that is often taken for granted. Desiccation-tolerant cells implement structural, physiological and molecular mechanisms to survive severe water deficit.
