An emerging picture of the seed desiccome: confirmed regulators and newcomers identified using transcriptome comparison

Desiccation tolerance (DT) is the capacity to withstand total loss of cellular water. It is acquired during seed filling and lost just after germination. However, in many species, a germinated seed can regain DT under adverse conditions such as osmotic stress. The genes, proteins and metabolites tha...
