Synergy between the small intrinsically disordered protein Hsp12 and trehalose sustain viability after severe desiccation
Anhydrobiotes are rare microbes, plants and animals that tolerate severe water loss. Understanding the molecular basis for their desiccation tolerance may provide novel insights into stress biology and critical tools for engineering drought-tolerant crops. Using the anhydrobiote, budding yeast, we s...
