REVIEWS DESICCATION TOLERANCE IN DEVELOPING SEEDS

by Dimitrina Nedeva, Anna Nikolova , 1997
"... Summary. This review summarizes recent studies on the mechanisms and compounds taking part in acquisition and maintenance of desiccation tolerance of seeds. The role of ABA in regulating gene expression in either developmental or stress situation is discussed. Special attention is given to LEA prote ..."

‘Desiccation tolerance of Rhamnidium elaeocarpum Reissek

by Lílian Abadia Da Silva, Juliana De Fátima Sales, João Almir Oliveira, Édila Vilela De Resende, Von Pinho, Heloisa Oliveira Dos Santos, Marcos Antônio Soares
"... ABSTRACT. This study aimed to investigate the desiccation tolerance of Rhamnidium elaeocarpum Reissek seeds through physiological and biochemical alterations. Fruit were collected from the municipality of Jaupaci, Goias State, Brazil, when the water content of their seeds had a 37 % wet basis (w.b.) ..."

The discovery, scope and puzzle of desiccation tolerance in plants.

by Peter Alpert - Plant Ecol. , 2000
"... Abstract The modern scientific study of desiccation tolerance began in 1702 when Anthony von Leeuwenhoek discovered that rotifers could survive without water for months. By 1860, the controversy over whether organisms could dry up without dying had reached such a pitch that a special French commiss ..."

The Limits and Frontiers of Desiccation-Tolerant Life 1

by Peter Alpert
"... SYNOPSIS. 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, microbe ..."

, microbes, and plants do tolerate complete desiccation, defined as water content below 0.1 g H2Og�1 dry mass. Species in five phyla of animals and four divisions of plants contain desiccation-tolerant adults, juveniles, seeds, or spores. There seem to be few inherent limits on desiccation tolerance, since
