The 15 pages that link to Desiccation tolerance, each with the reason it gives.

• BryophyteRelated: Many bryophytes tolerate drying, although active growth and reproduction require water.

• VitrificationRelated: The biological problem that glass-forming sugars answer by vitrifying and by tolerating ice.

• DesiccationRelated: It distinguishes organisms that withstand desiccation from those damaged by it.

• Abscisic acidRelated: Abscisic acid helps developing seeds acquire this survival capacity.

• TerrestrializationRelated: Resistance to drying helped early colonizers persist through exposure to air.

• KillifishRelated: Dormant embryos of some annual killifish withstand dry conditions in temporary-pool sediments.

• FucusRelated: Tolerance of drying helps Fucus persist during low tides on exposed shores.

• PorphyraRelated: Tolerance of drying helps intertidal Porphyra blades withstand low tides.

• Microbial cystRelated: Some cysts resist drying, a common environmental challenge during dispersal.

• TetrigidaeRelated: Some species occupy exposed habitats where avoiding dehydration is advantageous.
