Longevity of dry Myrothamnus flabellifolius in simulated field conditions
Plant Growth Regulation, 2001 This study tested the length of time the desiccation-tolerantMyrothamnus flabellifolius could remain in the dry stateunder simulated field conditions, without losing viability. Dry plants werekeptat 50% relative humidity, with a 25/16 °Cday/night temperature regime and a daylight intensity of 1200μmol·m−2 s−1.

, 1999 Resurrection plants, including Myrothamnus flabellifolius, grow in shallow soil upon rocky outcrops where they experience regular periods of water stress. Associated with this is light stress. The presence of light under water limiting conditions can result in photo-oxidation which causes damage to plant tissues.
