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

Breeding drought tolerant cowpea: constraints, accomplishments, and future prospects [PDF]
, 2009 This review presents an overview of accomplishments on different aspects of cowpea breeding for drought tolerance. Furthermore it provides options to enhance the genetic potential of the crop by minimizing yield loss due to drought stress. Recent efforts

Effect of desiccation, starvation, heat, and cold stresses on the thermal resistance of Enterobacter sakazakii in rehydrated infant milk formula [PDF]
, 2008 Enterobacter sakazakii has been implicated in outbreaks of meningitis, septicemia, and necrotizing enterocolitis in immunocompromised and premature neonates. In this study, the effect of desiccation stress, starvation stress, heat shock and cold shock on

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.

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 ...

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.

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
