In the growth condition (s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced
by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and …

The vast metabolic diversity observed in plants is the direct result of continuous evolutionary
processes. There are more than 200,000 known plant secondary metabolites, representing …

Drought is one of the most severe limitations to plant growth and productivity. Resurrection
plants have evolved a unique capability to tolerate desiccation in vegetative tissues. Fern …

Salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting plant growth and development. Understanding the
molecular mechanisms of salt response and defense in plants will help in efforts to improve …

Due to the ability to tolerate extreme dehydration, desiccation-tolerant plants have been
widely investigated to find potential approaches for improving water use efficiency or …

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 …

The desiccation tolerant bryophyte Bryum argenteum is an important component of desert
biological soil crusts (BSCs) and is emerging as a model system for studying vegetative …

Desiccation tolerance is commonly regarded as one of the key features for the colonization
of terrestrial habitats by green algae and the evolution of land plants. Extensive studies …

As ecosystem engineers, S phagnum mosses control their surroundings through water
retention, acidification and peat accumulation. Because water retention avoids desiccation …

Background The present study aimed to compare the relative abundance of proteins and
amino acid metabolites to explore the mechanisms underlying the difference between wild …
