Agronomy, 2022 Seed priming protocols implement incomplete imbibition phases, as well as physical, chemical or biological treatments, to activate pre-germinative metabolism and stress response, thus improving germination performances, seedling establishment and stress ...

Agronomy, 2018 The majority of flowering-plant species can survive complete air-dryness in their seed and/or pollen. Relatively few species (‘resurrection plants’) express this desiccation tolerance in their foliage. Knowledge of the regulation of desiccation tolerance

Sugars and Desiccation Tolerance in Seeds [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1988 Soluble sugars have been shown to protect liposomes and lobster microsomes from desiccation damage, and a protective role has been proposed for them in several anhydrous systems. We have studied the relationship between soluble sugar content and the loss of desiccation tolerance in the axes of germinating soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv Williams), pea

Floresta e Ambiente, 2021 Classifying seeds in terms of desiccation tolerance is the first step in determining the potential and most appropriate conditions for storage. This study aimed to characterize the tolerance to desiccation of Diospyros inconstans seeds from fruits at ...

PLoS Biology, 2023 Upon water loss, some organisms pause their life cycles and escape death. While widespread in microbes, this is less common in animals. Aedes mosquitoes are vectors for viral diseases.

Induction of desiccation tolerance in desiccation sensitive Citrus limon seeds [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2019 AbstractMany economically important perennial species bear recalcitrant seeds, including tea, coffee, cocoa, mango, citrus, rubber, oil palm and coconut. Orthodox seeds can be dried almost completely without losing viability, but so‐called recalcitrant seeds have a very limited storage life and die upon drying below a higher critical moisture content ...

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017 During germination, orthodox seeds become gradually intolerant to desiccation, and for this reason, they are a good model for recalcitrance studies. In the present work, physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural aspects of the desiccation tolerance

Molecular responses to dehydration and desiccation in desiccation-tolerant angiosperm plants [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018 Due to the ability to tolerate extreme dehydration, desiccation-tolerant plants have been widely investigated to find potential approaches for improving water use efficiency or developing new crop varieties. The studies of desiccation-tolerant plants have identified sugar accumulation, specific protein synthesis, cell structure changes, and increased ...

Heat and desiccation tolerances of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strains and relationships between their tolerances and some bioecological characteristics [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2014 Heat tolerances, desiccation tolerances, and effectiveness of 10 Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strains isolated from different climatic regions in Turkey were analyzed in laboratory conditions.

Desiccation tolerance of prokaryotes
Microbiological Reviews, 1994 The removal of cell-bound water through air drying and the addition of water to air-dried cells are forces that have played a pivotal role in the evolution of the prokaryotes. In bacterial cells that have been subjected to air drying, the evaporation of free cytoplasmic water (Vf) can be instantaneous, and an equilibrium between cell-bound water (Vb ...
