The predominant polyphenol in the leaves of the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius, 3,4,5 tri-O-galloylquinic acid, protects membranes against desiccation and free radical-induced oxidation. [PDF]
Biochem J, 2005 The predominant (>90%) low-molecular-mass polyphenol was isolated from the leaves of the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius and identified to be 3,4,5 tri-O-galloylquinic acid using 1H and 13C one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The structure was confirmed by mass spectrometric analysis.

Evaluation of the nutritional composition ofMyrothamnus flabellifolius(Welw.) herbal tea and its protective effect against oxidative hepatic cell injury [PDF]
Journal of Food Biochemistry, 2019 The nutrient composition of Myrothamnus flabellifolius leaf tea extract (MLTE) and its protective effect against oxidative hepatic cell injury were evaluated. Gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, methyl gallate, and epicatechin were identified in MLTE by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Response of the Leaf Cell Wall to Desiccation in the Resurrection Plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2006 Abstract The Myrothamnus flabellifolius leaf cell wall and its response to desiccation were investigated using electron microscopic, biochemical, and immunocytochemical techniques. Electron microscopy revealed desiccation-induced cell wall folding in the majority of mesophyll and epidermal cells.

Isolation and Characterisation of Chloroplasts from Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw.
Journal of Plant Physiology, 2000 Summary Chloroplasts isolated from the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius using trehalose gradients had a higher buoyant density than chloroplasts isolated from another resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii . The latter had the same buoyant density as those isolated from the desiccation-sensitive (DS) plant Pisum sativum .

South African Journal of Botany, 2002 An investigation of the antibacterial and antifungal activity of Myrothamnus flabellifolius against eleven different pathogens showed inhibition of all micro-organisms except for Salmonella typhimurium and Alternaria alternata. A preliminary screening was done by the disc diffusion method and three susceptible organisms were selected to demonstrate the
