Convergent evolution of desiccation tolerance in grasses
Nature Plants, 2023Desiccation tolerance has evolved repeatedly in plants as an adaptation to survive extreme environments. Plants use similar biophysical and cellular mechanisms to survive life without water, but convergence at the molecular, gene, and regulatory levels remains to be tested. Here, we explore the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the recurrent evolution

Exceptional desiccation tolerance of Acinetobacter radioresistens
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1998The taxonomy of the genus Acinetobacter, which includes several important nosocomial pathogens, has been confused due to a lack of discriminatory phenotypic characteristics for identification. Molecular methods such as amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) now enable the accurate identification of species.

Desiccation Tolerance in Mosses
1997To gain a full understanding of stress-inducible processes in plants, especially at the cellular level, it is often of major benefit to develop simple model plants for study. This is especially true if one is interested in how plants tolerate extremely stressful conditions that impact directly on the protoplasm of individual cells, e.g., desiccation ...

Environmental Adaptations: Desiccation Tolerance
2018Survival in microhabitats that experience extreme fluctuations in water availability and temperature requires extreme adaptations. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first who describe the phenomenon of the resurrection of a desiccated rotifer in 1702.

Cryopreservation of Desiccation-Tolerant Seeds
2007The cryopreservation of desiccation-tolerant seeds depends on two key steps: specimen dehydration in an environment that ensures the attainment of water contents below the high-moisture freezing limit; and transfer and maintenance at a subzero temperature that may be optimized in relation to the seed-lot moisture content and species. Temperatures about

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 tolerant plants in South America
Oecologia, 1987Numerous Velloziaceae species concentrated in Minas Gerais, Brazil, constitute most of the desiccation tolerant flora of S. America. In the grasses, two Microchloa spp and Tripogon spicatus are desiccation tolerant. Though widespread, they are low growing and appear unimportant. With the exception of Anemia, desiccation tolerant ferns in dry land areas

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.
