Unravelling metabolic mechanisms behind chloroplast desiccation tolerance: chlorophyllous fern spore as a new promising unicellular model
(Elsevier, 2018-11-22)
Fern spores are unicellular structures produced by the sporophyte generation that give rise to the haploid gametophyte. When released from the sporangium, spores are desiccation tolerant (DT) in the royal fern (Osmunda ...
Can Parietin Transfer Energy Radiatively to Photosynthetic Pigments?
(MDPI, 2018-07)
The main role of lichen anthraquinones is in protection against biotic and abiotic stresses, such as UV radiation. These compounds are frequently deposited as crystals outside the fungal hyphae and most of them emit visible ...
A field portable method for the semi-quantitative estimation of dehydration tolerance of photosynthetic tissues across distantly related land plants.
(2018-12-04)
Desiccation tolerant (DT) plants withstand complete cellular dehydration (reaching relative
water contents below 30% in their photosynthetic tissues), while desiccation sensitive (DS)
plants exhibit different degrees of ...
Rapid colour changes in Euglena sanguinea (Euglenophyceae) caused by internal lipid globule migration
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-23)
The accumulation of red pigments under chronic stress is a response observed in most
groups of oxygenic photoautotrophs. It is thought that the red pigments in the cell shield
the chlorophyll located underneath from the ...
