Linked Claims

Claim 1comparative genomics utilitysupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

Sequencing of Craterostigma plantagineum and other resurrection plant genomes enabled comparative genomics to identify conserved mechanisms and signatures associated with vegetative desiccation tolerance.

Claim 2historical prioritysupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

A 1990 study using Craterostigma plantagineum was the first to address desiccation tolerance at the molecular level.

Claim 3mechanistic inferencesupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

Acquisition of desiccation tolerance in vegetative tissues of resurrection plants partially involves the ABA-associated seed maturation programme.

Claim 4molecular component associationsupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

Many desiccation-upregulated genes identified in Craterostigma plantagineum encoded LEA proteins.

Claim 5screening resultsupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

A differential screening approach with Craterostigma plantagineum leaves and ABA-pretreated callus identified transcripts upregulated by desiccation.
