During the above studies when auxotrophic cells were held at certain levels of relative humidity (RH), prototrophic mutants were found, apparently produced as a direct result of desiccation.

To protect crops from rising droughts, scientists are looking to the genes of a small group of plants that can survive months of drought then regreen within hours.

Guo et al. 1 claim desiccation tolerance in human cells producing the disaccharide trehalose. Trehalose is well known to be associated with desiccation tolerance (anhydrobiosis) in many organisms ...
