Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Bryum rubens survived desiccation at 100% in both encapsulated and nonencapsulated samples.
- Intervention effect Ditrichum cornubicum survived desiccation at 40% in both sample types.
- Intervention effect After freezing, Ditrichum cornubicum survival was 30% in nonencapsulated and 20% in encapsulated samples.
- Intervention effect Cyclodictyon laetevirens did not survive dehydration or freezing.
- Intervention effect Cryopreservation reduced the growth rate of Ditrichum cornubicum.
- Intervention effect Cryopreservation reduced Bryum rubens growth rate temporarily.
- Intervention effect Encapsulated Bryum rubens protonemata eventually grew faster than controls.
- Recommendation Natural desiccation tolerance was judged sufficient for some mosses to survive cryopreservation without pretreatment.
