Cryopreservation of Desiccation-Tolerant Seeds

2007
The 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

2019
Acinetobacter 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, 1987
Numerous 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, 2017
Resurrection 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.

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, 1984
Sphagnum 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, 2008
Desiccation 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, 2009
Sporobolus 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

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