Fine-tuning functional syndromes for stressful environments: lessons on survival from the South African resurrection plant <i>Myrothamnus flabellifolia</i>

2021-09-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Resilience to abiotic stress is associated with a suite of functional traits related to defense and longevity. Stress tolerant plants are generally slow growing with extended leave lifespans and reduced allocation to reproduction. Resurrection plants are ideal systems to test for trade-offs associated with stress tolerance due to their extreme resiliency. While, growth defense trade-offs are wel...
