Desiccation tolerance: From genomics to the field (2010, background): “There are great expectations that the knowledge gained from unraveling the genes and regulatory pathways leading to these adaptive advantages will bring benefits such as producing crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses [5–9], tools to preserve better genetic biodiversity ex situ [6,10,11] or protoc”
Mechanisms of plant response to salt and drought stress and their alteration by rhizobacteria (2016, background): “dry climates such a strategy is not always as successful as expected, due to the direct evaporation from the soil when it remains partially wet (Tardieu 2005).”
