Abstract
The resurrection plant, Xerophyta humilis is used as a model system to identify and characterise genes which play an important role in conferring desiccation tolerance in plants. In this study, the expression of a novel gene named desiccation induced-1 (dsi-1VOC) during desiccation in X. humilis and desiccationsensitive plants is characterised.
