Abstract excerpt
Reproductive structures of plants (e.g. seeds) and vegetative tissues of resurrection plants can tolerate desiccation. Many genes encoding desiccation-related proteins (DRPs) have been identified in the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum, but the function of these genes remains mainly hypothetical. Here, the importance of the DRP gene pcC13-62 for desiccation tolerance is evaluated by analysing its...
