Anomalous pressure volume curves of resurrection plants do not suggest negative turgor.

Author: Willigen, Clare Vander ; Farrant, Jill ; Pammenter, N W Date: 2001 Pressure-volume (PV) curves of the desiccation-tolerant angiosperms, Eragrostis nindensis, Craterostigma wilmsii and Xerophyta humilis, and the desiccation-sensitive species, E. curvula, were compared. The shape of curves for E. nindensis and ... Read more
Changes in leaf hexokinase activity and metabolite levels in response to drying in the desiccation?tolerant species Sporobolus stapfianus and Xerophyta viscosa.

Author: Whittaker, Anne ; Bochicchio, Adriana ; Vazzana, Concetta ; Lindsey, George ; Farrant, Jill Date: 2001 The phosphorylation of glucose and fructose is an important step in regulating the supply of hexose sugars for biosynthesis and metabolism. Changes in leaf hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) activity and in vivo metabolite levels were examined during ... Read more
Molecular characterization of XVT8, a stress-responsive gene from the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa Baker.

Author: Ndima, Tozama ; Farrant, Jill ; Thomson, Jennifer ; Mundree, Sagadevan Date: 2001 Xerophyta viscosa (Baker) is a monocotyledonous resurrection plant that is capable of tolerating extremes of desiccation. Upon rewatering, it rehydrates completely, assuming its full physiological activities. Studies on changes in gene ... Read more
A novel stress-inducible antioxidant enzyme identified from the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa Baker.

Author: Mowla, Shaheen B ; Thomson, Jennifer A ; Farrant, Jill ; Mundree, Sagadevan G Date: 2002 A cDNA corresponding to 1-Cys peroxiredoxin, an evolutionarily conserved thiol-specific antioxidant enzyme, was isolated from Xerophyta viscosa Baker, a resurrection plant indigenous to Southern Africa and belonging to the family Velloziaceae. ...

Retention of mobile water during dehydration in the desiccation-tolerant grass Eragrostis nindensis

Author: Balsamo, Ronald A ; Vander Willigen, Clare ; Boyko, Clare ; Farrant, Jill Date: 2005 Leaf tensile strength was measured for the drought-tolerant grass Eragrostis curvula and the desiccation-tolerant grass E. nindensis when fully hydrated, partially dehydrated, naturally air-dried, and flash-dried. Leaf tensile strength increased ... Read more
