Selection Mapping Identifies Loci Underpinning Autumn Dormancy in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). [PDF]
, 2018 Autumn dormancy in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is associated with agronomically important traits including regrowth rate, maturity, and winter survival. Historical recurrent selection experiments have been able to manipulate the dormancy response.

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

The effect of desiccation on the emission of volatile bromocarbons from two common temperate macroalgae [PDF]
, 2014 Exposure of intertidal macroalgae during low tide has been linked to the emission of a variety of atmospherically-important trace gases into the coastal atmosphere.

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

Desiccation tolerance: From genomics to the field [PDF]
, 2010 Desiccation tolerance is defined as the ability to survive the removal of all, or almost all the cellular water without irreversible damage. It confers to dried organisms the ability to survive extreme conditions of the environment and to stay alive in a

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 ...

Coordination of Foliar and Wood Anatomical Traits Contributes to Tropical Tree Distributions and Productivity along the Malay-Thai Peninsula [PDF]
, 2009 Drought is a critical factor in plant species distributions. Much research points to its relevance even in moist tropical regions. Recent studies have begun to elucidate mechanisms underlying the distributions of tropical tree species with respect to ...
