Desiccation tolerance in the vegetative tissues of the fern Mohria caffrorum is seasonally regulated

Author: Farrant, Jill M ; Lehner, Arnaud ; Cooper, Keren ; Wiswedel, Stefan Date: 2009 As there is limited information on the mechanisms of vegetative desiccation tolerance in pteridophytes, we undertook a comprehensive anatomical, ultrastructural, physiological and biochemical study on the fern Mohria caffrorum. Our data show ... Read more
The effect of drying rate on the resurrection species Craterostigma wilmsii (homoiochlorophyllous) and Xerophyta humilis (poikilochlorophyllous)

Author: Cooper, Keren Date: 2001 Craterostigma wilmsii and Xerophyta humilis are angiosperm resurrection species that employ different strategies in dealing with desiccation and the related light stress. C. wilmsii is homoiochlorophyllous in that it retains its chlorophyll ... Read more
A molecular physiological review of vegetative desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa (Baker)

Author: Farrant, Jill M ; Cooper, Keren ; Hilgart, Amelia ; Abdalla, Kamal O ; Bentley, Joanne ; Thomson, Jennifer Ann ; Dace, Halford ; Mundree, Sagadevan G ; Rafudeen, Mohamed S Date: Aug 2015 Xerophyta viscosa (Baker) is a monocotyledonous resurrection plant from the family Vellociacea that occurs in summer-rainfall areas of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. It inhabits rocky terrain in exposed grasslands and frequently experiences ... Read more c b
Recovery of the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii from desiccation: protection versus repair

Author: Cooper, Keren ; Farrant, Jill M Date: 2002 Craterostigma wilmsii Engl. (homoiochlorophyllous) is a resurrection species that is thought to rely primarily on the protection of cellular components during drying to survive desiccation. The time taken for this protection to be instituted ... Read more
ROS production and protein oxidation as a novel mechanism for seed dormancy alleviation.

Author: Oracz, Krystyna ; Bouteau, Hayat El-Maarouf ; Farrant, Jill M ; Cooper, Keren ; Belghazi, Maya ; Job, Claudette ; Job, Dominique ; Corbineau, Franc¸oise ; Bailly, Christophe Date: 2007 At harvest, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seeds are dormant and unable to germinate at temperatures below 15C. Seed storage in the dry state, known as after-ripening, is associated with an alleviation of embryonic dormancy allowing subsequent ... Read more
