At the whole plant level, the effect of stress is usually perceived as a decrease in
photosynthesis and growth. That is why this review is focused mainly on the effect of drought …

Abiotic stresses resulting from water deficit, high salinity or periods of drought adversely
affect plant growth and development and represent major selective forces during plant …

Reactions at ionizable functional groups in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from
Bacillus subtilis are found to affect aqueous phase conformation and adsorption to mineral …

A suite of mechanisms or processes that together have been implicated in the acquisition
and maintenance of desiccation tolerance in orthodox seeds is discussed in the context of …

This essay is an introduction to a series of papers arising from a symposium on stabilization
of cells in the dry state. Nearly all of these investigations have utilized the sugar trehalose as …

Most higher plants are unable to survive desiccation to an air-dried state. An exception is a
small group of vascular angiosperm plants, termed resurrection plants. They have evolved …

Understanding how plants tolerate dehydration is a prerequisite for develo** novel
strategies for improving drought tolerance. The desiccation-tolerant (DT) Sporobolus …

Abstract Changes in water-soluble carbohydrates were examined in the leaves of the
resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa under conditions of water deficit. Sucrose and raffinose …

To withstand desiccation, many invertebrates such as rotifers, nematodes and tardigrades
enter a state known as anhydrobiosis, which is thought to require accumulation of …

Aims: The present study focuses on the impact of two different drying technologies and the
influence of protectants on process survival and storage stability of the two lactic acid …
