Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of anhydrobiosis in Panagrolaimus superbus and Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larvae
… entering a state of suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis. The mechanisms which allow these organisms to survive desiccation are poorly understood. The nematodes Panagrolaimus superbus and Caenorhabditis elegans are able to survive extreme desiccation. These nematodes have contrasting …

Functional characterisation of LEA proteins from bdelloid rotifers
‘Anhydrobiosis’ or ‘life without water’ is a fascinating phenomenon that was first described by the eminent Dutch microscopist Antony van Leewenhoek in bdelloid rotifers in 1702. Despite being studied for over three hundred years, our understanding of its molecular basis remains largely elusive. …

Dry and back again: characterization of desiccation-associated differentiation of leaf tissues in Craterostigma pumilum Hochst
… tissue responses to progressive dehydration and anhydrobiosis in resurrection plants.

De novo sequencing, assembly and analysis of the genome and transcriptome of the nematode Panagrolaimus superbus
… peri- ods of time in a desiccated state (anhydrobiosis) and is also freezing tol- erant (cryobiotic). These adaptations make it an interesting candidate for genome and transcriptome sequencing using second generation high through- put methods. In this project the transcriptome of P. …

The functional analysis of XhLEA3-2 - a LEA_4 from the resurrection plant, Xerophyta humilis
… extended periods of drought in a state of anhydrobiosis and then resume full metabolism upon rehydration. These plants serve as models to scientists and genetic engineers who hope to replicate, to a degree, the 'resurrection phenomenon' in drought sensitive crop species. The ability of …

A Molecular and Phylogenetic Analysis of Cryobiosis in Nematodes of the Genus Panagrolaimus
… strains and species. They also undergo anhydrobiosis and a correlation exists between desiccation tolerance and freezing tolerance. A phylogenetic study did not find a relationship between freezing phenotype, biogeography and phylogeny. The freezing and desiccation tolerance of ten new …

Molecular analysis of the responses of Caenorhabditis elegans (Bristol N2), Panagrolaimus rigidus (AF36) and Panagrolaimus sp. (PS 1579) (Nematoda) to water stress
This work provides a comparative and genetic analysis of the responses to water stress in desiccation-tolerant and desiccation-sensitive nematodes. Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism for the study of development, aging, and cell biology was shown to be a desiccation-sensitive organism that …
