DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.12926
Abstract: The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris can undergo anhydrobiosis. Several chemicals that inhibit successful anhydrobiosis in H. exemplaris have been identified, and these chemicals inhibit the activity of signaling molecules. In the present study, we investigated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.4288
Abstract: When exposed to desiccation stress, extremotolerant organisms from all domains of life produce protective disordered proteins with the potential to inform the design of excipients for formulating biologics and industrial enzymes. However, the mechanism(s) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-981-13-1244-1_10
Abstract: Bryophytes are small land plants that have many morphological and physiological features different from vascular plants. With distinct water relations of bryophytes, many bryophyte species exhibit high degrees of tolerance to freezing and desiccation. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00425-017-2673-0
Abstract: AbstractMain conclusionThe transcriptional modulation of desiccation tolerance factors inP. orbicularisexplains its successful recuperation after water deficit. Differential responses to air exposure clarify seaweed distribution along intertidal rocky zones. Desiccation-tolerant seaweed species, such as Pyropia orbicularis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/nplants.2017.38
Abstract: Desiccation tolerance is common in seeds and various other organisms, but only a few angiosperm species possess vegetative desiccation tolerance. These ‘resurrection species’ may serve as ideal models for the ultimate design of crops with… read more here.
