Sentence examples for more desiccation from inspiring English sources

D. serrata is significantly more desiccation resistant than D. birchii [ 41].

The seeds from these areas are more desiccation-tolerant and therefore more responsive to the freeze dry preservation techniques at Wakehurst Place than are seeds from more tropical areas.

Rates of tree death from physiological stress likely decline over time, both because older edges are less permeable and because trees that are poorly adapted for edge conditions (or in poor health generally) tend to die and be replaced by more desiccation-tolerant species [15].

Thus, the HE0277 cells were more desiccation-tolerant than the P490 cells.

The observations that the desert drosophilid, D. mojavensis, is much more desiccation-resistant than other Drosophila species [ 24], and produces a higher than average proportion of longer-chain CHCs [ 25, 26], is consistent with this proposal.

The harvest aid paraquat led to over six times more leaf desiccation and leaf defoliation within 11 days after treatment and was more effective overall than the tribufos harvest aid.

Moderately dehydrated pollen, with >23%% water content, is characterized as 'drought tolerant' by Hoekstra et al. (2001), but further work would be needed to determine whether Austrobaileya pollen is tolerant of more severe desiccation (viable with ≤23 % water content).

Through the development of keratinous tissues, the skin became somewhat more resistant to desiccation (dehydration) and better equipped to resist the increased frictional abrasion from the air and particulates (such as sand and dust) of the terrestrial environment.

Both stresses involve water loss, but the degree of dehydration will ultimately be more severe during desiccation.
