Abstract excerpt
It is currently thought that most flowering plants lack the capacity to synthesize trehalose, a common disaccharide of bacteria, fungi and invertebrates that appears to play a major role in desiccation tolerance. Attempts have therefore been made to render plants more drought-resistant by the exp...
