Desiccation resistance is a major problem in Arizona agriculture. Being able to use these genes possibly in plants may improve agriculture within the desert areas of the Southwest, Africa, and the Middle East. This could help ease the problems of world hunger if food crops are able to grow easier in arid climates. Additionally, radiation resistance is very important for space travel. Papers have been published talking about using the resistance genes in D. radiodurans for space travel and that way plants could be more easily grown in space travel.

Firstly, in science, adding validation data is always a very important and welcome resource. In addition to the validation data, the main goal of the project is to look for these same genes in a sister bacteria and see if those genes convey the same resistance.

Desiccation Toolkit

Desert areas, making up almost one-quarter of the Earth surface, are home to 500 million people. As a result of human habitation, every continent in the world except Antarctica is increasingly and adversely affected by desertification. Studies forecasting climate trends indicate that desert regions will face an even drier future – in regard to both climatic factors and drought conditions – stemming from the influence of human activities. One human-created impact on these desert environments is pollution. Many remediation challenges exist specific to the extremely dry conditions present in these arid locales. For example, what happens when a desert area is polluted with such substances as plastics, where commonly employed bioremediation agents used for environmental cleanup cannot survive desert climates’ high temperature and low humidity extremes? Our team has developed a kit containing biological components that will provide desiccation resistance to organisms used to facilitate the elimination of contaminants, like plastics, in desert-like environments. Our goal is to design an assortment of complementary parts, which will strengthen organisms and help to broaden their climatic and geographic range of effectiveness. While some parts included in our kit could, conceivably, provide resistance to other types of stresses, such as ionizing radiation, we will initially focus on desiccation. Because of its potential to expand the extent of the efficacy of these biological breakdown expedients into even climatically extreme territories, our kit could be a valuable addition to any bioremediation project.
