Dehydration resistance is proportion to mtDNA copy number. Quantitative PCR was used to examine the ratio of mitochondrial (21S rRNA) and nuclear genome (SCR1) copy number. All results were normalized to log growth phase wild type strain. The two-way ANOVA multiple comparison was used for statistics analysis. **/##: p value <0.01; ****/####: p value <0.0001.
