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]

Biochemical Journal, 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 Antioxidant, Cytotoxicity, Antibacterial, Anti-Motility, and Anti-Biofilm Effects of Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw. Leaves and Stem Defatted Subfractions. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
The formation of biofilms underscores the challenge of treating bacterial infections. The study aimed to assess the antioxidant, cytotoxicity, antibacterial, anti-motility, and anti-biofilm effects of defatted fractions from Myrothamnus flabellifolius (resurrection plant).

The composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius

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

The trehalose 6‐phosphate phosphatase family in plants

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Trehalose 6‐phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an essential signalling metabolite linking plant growth and development to carbon metabolism. While recent work has focused predominantly on the enzymes that produce Tre6P, little is known about the proteins that catalyse its degradation, the trehalose 6‐phosphate ...

Photosynthesis, leaf hydraulic conductance and embolism dynamics in the resurrection plant Barbacenia purpurea

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract The main parameters determining photosynthesis are stomatal and mesophyll conductance and electron transport rate, and for hydraulic dynamics they are leaf hydraulic conductance and the spread of embolism. These parameters have scarcely been studied in desiccation‐tolerant (resurrection) plants exposed to drought.

Temporal cell wall changes during cold acclimation and deacclimation and their potential involvement in freezing tolerance and growth

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Plants adapt to freezing stress through cold acclimation, which is induced by nonfreezing low temperatures and accompanied by growth arrest. A later increase in temperature after cold acclimation leads to rapid loss of freezing tolerance and growth resumption, a process called deacclimation.

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.

Pharmacogenomics of Hypertension in Africa: Paving the Way for a Pharmacogenetic‐Based Approach for the Treatment of Hypertension in Africans

International Journal of Hypertension, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
In Africa, the burden of hypertension has been rising at an alarming rate for the last two decades and is a major cause for cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and morbidity. Hypertension is characterised by elevated blood pressure (BP) ≥ 140/90 mmHg.
