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 available examining stress tolerance of moss sperm and whether there is genetic variation for ...

Comparative desiccation tolerance of two Sphagnum mosses
Oecologia, 1984Sphagnum fallax (Klinggr.) Klinggr., a moss growing in hollows close to the water table, is more desiccation tolerant than S. nemoreum Scop., a hummock former distributed high above the hollows. Sphagnum fallax recovered to a greater proportion of its predesiccation photosynthetic rate after one and five days of tissue dryness.

[Postgenomic analysis of desiccation tolerance].
Journal de la Societe de biologie, 2008Desiccation tolerance is the capacity to survive complete drying. It is an ancient trait that can be found in prokaryotes, fungi, primitive animals (often at the larval stages), whole plants, pollens and seeds. In the dry state, metabolism is suspended and the duration that anhydrobiotes can survive ranges from years to centuries. Whereas genes induced

Sporobolus stapfianus, a model desiccation-tolerant grass
Functional Plant Biology, 2009Sporobolus stapfianus Gandoger, one of ~40 known ‘anabiotic’grass species (i.e. ‘able to regain vital activity from a state of latent life’), is the most versatile tool for research into desiccation tolerance in vegetative grass tissue. Current knowledge on this species is presented, including the features that suit it for investigations into the plant’

Pollen Maturation and Desiccation Tolerance
1988Pollen generally is tolerant to severe desiccation (Hoekstra, 1986). The molecular mechanism of this tolerance is far from elucidated, however.

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.

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).
