Cell walls also increase in extensibility during drying and recovery, correlating with expression of three alpha-expansin genes in C. raterostigma lantagineum (Jones and McQueen-Mason 2004). Presumably, these changes in cell wall properties relate to the strategy that these plants use to limit mechanical stresses during dehydration by allowing their cell walls to invaginate and fold. 7 Survival Strategies for Dehydration Extremophiles Desiccation-tolerant plants appear to have two distinct strategies for responding to, preparing for, and surviving desiccation: constitutive protection coupled with rehydration-induced repair and induced cellular protection coupled with rehydration-induced repair.
