Ionizing radiation responses appear incidental to desiccation responses in the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga
Abstract Background The remarkable resistance to ionizing radiation found in anhydrobiotic organisms, such as some bacteria, tardigrades, and bdelloid rotifers has been hypothesized to be incidental to their desiccation resistance. Both stresses produce reactive oxygen species and cause damage to DN...
