Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2005 The polyphenol contents and compositions in desiccated leaves of Myrothamnus flabellifolius plants collected in various locations in Namibia and South Africa were analyzed using UV spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A study of the genetic relatedness of these populations was also performed by determination of the

, 1998 To date, most of the studies on the homoiochlorophyllous desiccation-tolerant (HDT) plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius have been conducted on excised twigs or leaves. In this study drying (including prolonged exposure to the dry state), and recovery of whole plants was compared with that of detached twigs dried off the plant, and also with twigs excised ...

, 2019 The trade of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), also known as biotrade, has existed for hundreds of years - as has the traditional knowledge associated with such products. More recently, this form of trade has advanced to include genetic resource components found within natural resources (bioprospecting).

Variability in Functional Traits along an Environmental Gradient in the South African Resurrection Plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 Many desiccation-tolerant plants are widely distributed and exposed to substantial environmental variation across their native range. These environmental differences generate site-specific selective pressures that could drive natural variation in ...

Microbial survival strategies in desiccated roots of <i>Myrothamnus flabellifolia</i>. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolIntroductionRoot-associated microbiomes are critical to plant vigor, particularly under drought stress. The spatial dynamics of microbial community diversity and composition are strongly influenced by plant root and environmental factors.

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 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.
