Fig. 3: Desiccation tolerance research, going forward.

From: Life on the dry side: a roadmap to understanding desiccation tolerance and accelerating translational applications

Fig. 3

a De-siloing sub-disciplines of desiccation tolerance research. b Future prospects and possible applications of desiccation tolerance research. In (a), colors represent research in desiccation tolerance at different biological scales (evolution, geography, organism, cell, and molecule). In (b), colors represent broad categories for aspirational goals in desiccation tolerance research: purple for social and community growth and development, blue for geographical advancement, green for organismal-scale applications, yellow for cellular-scale applications, and red for applications on the molecular scale. Orange represents broad, general advancements in desiccation tolerance research.
