Comparisons of the resurrection grass, Eragrostis nindensis, with the related desiccation-sensitive species, E. curvula

open access: yes, 2001
Bibliography: leaves 100-133.Desiccation tolerance of the inner leaves of Eragrostis nindensis is compared with the desiccation sensitivity of the outer leaves, as well as those of the closely related species, E. curvula. Both E. nindensis and E. curvula

The Limits and Frontiers of Desiccation-Tolerant Life [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2005
Drying to equilibrium with the air is lethal to most species of animals and plants, making drought (i.e., low external water potential) a central problem for terrestrial life and a major cause of agronomic failure and human famine. Surprisingly, a wide taxonomic variety of animals, microbes, and plants do tolerate complete desiccation, defined as water

Tailoring Li‐ion Storage and Transport in Two‐Dimensional Conjugated Metal‐Organic Frameworks via Precise Nitrogen Incorporation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two nitrogen‐doped 2D conjugated metal‐organic frameworks (2D c‐MOFs, namely Cu‐Nx‐OHBA, x = 2 or 4) are synthesized, featuring precise nitrogen incorporation via rational ligand design. The Cu‐Nx‐OHBA 2D c‐MOFs are largely tailorable by varying skeletal nitrogen density, with respect to electrical conductivity, Li‐storage capacitance, and Li‐transport

Characterization of two, desiccation linked, Group 1 LEA proteins from the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis

open access: yes, 2011
Studies on resurrection plants and other anhydrobiotic organisms show expression of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins associated with desiccation tolerance. However, the precise role of these proteins has not been described.

Pickering‐Engineered Microparticles for Magnetically Guided Motion and Light‐Triggered Catalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetically responsive wax microparticles stabilized by hematite cubes through the Pickering emulsification strategy are developed, showing controlled size, motion, and light‐activated catalytic activity. Annealing under a magnetic field enhances their mobility and steering.

Investigating the mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant, myrothamnus flabellifolius (WELW)

open access: yes, 1999
Biliography : leaves 162-184.Resurrection plants, including Myrothamnus flabellifolius, grow in shallow soil upon rocky outcrops where they experience regular periods of water stress. Associated with this is light stress.

NThe Study of Desiccation-Tolerance in Drying Leaves of the Desiccation-Tolerant Grass Sporobolus elongatus and the Desiccation-Sensitive Grass Sporobolus pyramidalis

open access: yesPakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2007
Hydrated leaves of the resurrection grass Sporobolus elongatus are not desiccation tolerant (DT), but moderate to severe drought stress can induce their DT with the leaves remain attach to drying intact plants. In vivo protein synthesis was studied with SDS-page of extracts of leaves of intact drying plants of S. elongatus (a desiccation-Tolerant grass

Pull‐and‐Push Nanotherapeutic Hydrogels: Scavenging Inflammatory Triggers While Driving Tissue Regeneration in Burn Wounds

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A nanounit‐assembled hydrogel employing a “pull‐and‐push” strategy simultaneously scavenges pro‐inflammatory cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and delivers regenerative therapeutics in response to burn‐induced hyperthermia. By repolarizing macrophages and promoting angiogenesis, this multifunctional platform accelerates burn wound healing, offering a blueprint for

The role of a Polyphenol from Myrothamnus flabellifolius in the protection of membranes during desiccation-using liposomes as a model membrane system

open access: yes, 2002
Includes bibliographical references.A deficiency of water is a common stress experienced by plants. Dehydration of plant tissue results in altered protein and lipid ultrastructure responsible for membrane stabilisation leading inevitably to the death of ...

Desiccation tolerance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Despite the fundamental significance of desiccation in determining the distributions and activities of living organisms, there is virtually no insight as to the state of the cytoplasm of an air-dried, or even a wet, cell.
