Abstract excerpt
The resurrection plant (Craterostigma plantagineum) is desiccation tolerant. However, callus derived from this plant, when propagated in vitro, requires exogenously applied abscisic acid (ABA) in order to survive desiccation. Treatment of callus tissue with ABA induces most of the genes that are induced by dehydration in the whole plant. This property has been exploited for the isolation of mutants that show...
