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 .

The occurrence of trehalose in the leaves of the desiccation-tolerant angiosperm Myrothamnus flabellifolius welw.

Journal of Plant Physiology, 1993
Summary Although the disaccharide trehalose predominates in a wide variety of desiccation-tolerant lower organisms, including some lower vascular plants, it is rare in higher vascular plants. Sucrose is suggested to have an analogous role to trehalose in stabilizing the membranes of desiccation-tolerant seeds and pollen of angiosperms. In the present

The South African and Namibian Populations of the Resurrection Plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius are Genetically Distinct and Display Variation in Their Galloylquinic Acid Composition

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

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.

Kinetics of inhibitory action of Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw. on the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase

Comparative Clinical Pathology, 2017
Recently, efforts have been geared towards the development of alternative medicines to manage diabetes mellitus by searching for pharmacological agents with the ability to retard glucose absorption through inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

Marginal and laminar hydathode-like structures in the leaves of the desiccation-tolerant angiosperm Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw.

Flora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2009
Abstract The fan-shaped leaves of the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw. fold during episodes of drought and consequent desiccation of the tissue. The leaf teeth of M. flabellifolius have several features characteristic of hydathodes.
