text: Besides sustaining growth and regulating gene expression, sugars have been implicated in the cell osmotic adjustment, stabilization of membrane structures and glass state formation during desiccation, and in providing carbon skeletons for recovering during the rehydration process (Vertucci and Farrant, 1995; Hoekstra et al., 1997; Oliver et al., 1998; Farrant et al., 2007, 2009; Peters et al., 2007).
