dc.description.abstractThe presence and expressIon patterns of orthologues of LEA group 1 genes has been characterised in the resurrection plant, Xerophyta humilis. The group I LEAs (Em I and Em6) were first identified as proteins that were abundantly and specifically expressed during the desiccation and germination phase of angiosperm seed development. The group I LEA genes are characterised by the presence of one or more tandemly repeated 20-amino acid motifs that are particularly rich in Gly residues.en_ZA
