“…Many factors can impact the outcome of a desiccation event including the minimum water content of dried tissues (i.e., the intensity of drying) (Gaff, 1989; Watkins et al, 2007; Marks et al, 2016), the rate of drying (Oliver et al, 1998; Farrant et al, 1999; Cruz de Carvalho et al, 2011, 2019; Stark et al, 2013; Greenwood and Stark, 2014; Greenwood et al, 2019; McLetchie and Stark, 2019), the light and temperature conditions during drying and rehydration (Hearnshaw and Proctor, 1982; Seel et al, 1992; Guo and Zhao, 2018), the duration that tissues are maintained in a dry state (Benkő, 2002), and the condition of tissues before drying (Schonbeck and Bewley, 1981; Beckett et al, 2005a, b; Brinda et al, 2016) (Fig. 2).…”
