Plant Physiology, 2023
Abstract Desiccation is typically fatal, but a small number of land plants have evolved vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT), allowing them to dry without dying through a process called anhydrobiosis. Advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the investigation of genomes for desiccation-tolerant plants over the past decade ...

Mechanisms of plant desiccation tolerance
Trends in Plant Science, 2001Anhydrobiosis ("life without water") is the remarkable ability of certain organisms to survive almost total dehydration. It requires a coordinated series of events during dehydration that are associated with preventing oxidative damage and maintaining the native structure of macromolecules and membranes.

Desiccation Tolerance in Human Cells
Cryobiology, 2001The ability to desiccate mammalian cells while maintaining a high degree of viability would have implications for many areas of biological science, including tissue engineering. Previously, we reported that introduction of the genes for trehalose biosynthesis allowed human cells in culture to be reversibly desiccated for up to 5 days.

Seed Science Research, 1994
AbstractThis article reviews mechanisms by which specialized cells of different life forms have overcome the lethal effects of dehydration and considers how the maintenance of genetic information is central to survival. As a dynamic and hydrated moleculein vivo, DNA can assume different conformational structures depending upon the water activity, the ...

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.
