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.
金发藓可以干燥至自由水含量低于2%,并保存数周而不丧失其活力。在苔藓复水后,蛋白质合成在观察到放射性前体掺入RNA之前约60分钟开始。在长达20天的干燥过程中,脉冲标记的总RNA和含多聚A的RNA在数量或质量上均未显示出变化。
