Desiccation-tolerance in bryophytes: a review (2007, background): “Sucrose is a significant component of biological ‘‘glasses’’ formed in the cytoplasm of cells during desiccation by the process of vitrification (Buitink et al. 2002; Crowe et al. 1998).”
Active oxygen species and antioxidants in seed biology (2004, background): “Their presence generally correlates with desiccation tolerance, but their biological functions remain unclear (Buitink et al., 2002).”
Unifying perspectives of some mechanisms basic to desiccation tolerance across life forms (2006, background): “…are synthesized and accumulate coincident with the acquisition of desiccation tolerance during orthodox seed development, as do sucrose and certain oligosaccharides (Steadman et al., 1996; reviewed by Buitink et al., 2002), and particular antioxidant enzymes become prominent (Bailly, 2004).”
The re-establishment of desiccation tolerance in germinated radicles of Medicago truncatula Gaertn. seeds (2003, background): “Accumulation of protective substances during the re-establishment of desiccation tolerance A large accumulation of non-reducing sugars has been associated with desiccation tolerance in seeds (reviewed in Buitink et al., 2002).”
