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).

Desiccation tolerant vascular plants of southern Africa
Oecologia, 1977Drought tolerance limits are given for 36 new 'resurrection plants', sufficient to double the number of desiccation tolerant plants reported from southern Africa. Tolerance limits for angiosperm examples are usually better than those for ferns. Air-dry foliage survives for 1/2 to 5 years or more, unless stored in humidities above 50% RH Abbreviation ...
