Enzymes and Metabolites in Carbohydrate Metabolism of Desiccation Tolerant Plants

Enzymes and Metabolites in Carbohydrate Metabolism of Desiccation Tolerant Plants

Resurrection plants can tolerate extreme water loss. Substantial sugar accumulation is a phenomenon in resurrection plants during dehydration. Sugars have been identified as one important factor contributing to desiccation tolerance. Phylogenetic diversity of resurrection plants reflects the diversi...
