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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mitochondrial activity and biogenesis during resurrection of Haberlea rhodopensis
New Phytologist, Volume 236, Issue 3, Page 943-957, November 2022., 2022 Summary Haberlea rhodopensis is a resurrection plant that can tolerate extreme and prolonged periods of desiccation with a rapid restoration of physiological function upon rehydration. Specialized mechanisms are required to minimize cellular damage during desiccation and to maintain integrity for rapid recovery following rehydration.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021 Premise Commonly used molecular techniques such as next‐generation sequencing require reliable methods to extract DNA quickly and efficiently. Secondary compounds within plant tissues make this requirement all the more challenging, often forcing researchers to test different extraction methods tailored to their particular species of interest in order ...

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2020 Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw. (resurrection plant) is a desiccant-tolerant, woody, and shrubby plant. It is popularly used as a local medicinal herbal tea in South Africa, other Southern Africa nations, and Central Africa. M. flabellifolius is used in treating several ailments including epilepsy, mental disorder, cough, pain, stroke, shingles ...
