Desiccation of plants is often lethal but is tolerated by the majority of seeds and by
vegetative tissues of only a small number of land plants. Desiccation tolerance is an ancient …

Desiccation tolerance (DT) in angiosperms is present in the small group of resurrection
plants and in seeds. DT requires the presence of protective proteins, specific carbohydrates …

Desiccation tolerance is common in seeds and various other organisms, but only a few
angiosperm species possess vegetative desiccation tolerance. These 'resurrection species' …

The resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum possesses an extraordinary capacity to
survive long‐term desiccation. To enhance our understanding of this phenomenon …

Inhibition of photosynthesis is a central, primary response that is observed in both
desiccation-tolerant and desiccation-sensitive plants affected by drought stress. Decreased …

Pre-exposure of plants to various abiotic conditions confers improved tolerance to
subsequent stress. Mild drought acclimation induces acquired rapid desiccation tolerance …

Positioned within current ecocritical scholarship, this volume is the first book-length study of
the representations of plants in contemporary American, English, and Australian poetry …

Bryophytes have long been understood to be desiccation tolerant (capable of reviving from
an air-dry state, DT). While mechanistic studies focusing on the expression of this complex …

In the context of plant evolution, pteridophytes, which is comprised of lycophytes and ferns,
occupy an intermediate position between bryophytes and seed plants, sharing …

Desiccation tolerance was a critical adaptation for the colonization of land by early
nonvascular plants. Resurrection plants have maintained or rewired these ancestral …
