Abstract

The moss Polytrichum commune can be dried to less than 2% of free water and kept for some weeks without losing its viability. Upon rehydration of the moss, protein synthesis starts about 60 minutes before incorporation of radioactive precursors into RNA can be observed. Pulse labeled total RNA and poly-A-containing RNA do not show quantitative or qualitative alterations during desiccation up to 20 days.
