Reversible in vivo cellular changes occur during desiccation and recovery: Desiccation tolerance of the resurrection filmy fern Hymenophyllum dentatum Cav.

ABSTRACT The present work explores in vivo physiological, morphological and chemical features during full hydration, desiccation and rehydration of the filmy fern Hymenophyllum dentatum with two main objectives: 1) to get further insight about the mechanisms underlying its desiccation tolerance, and...
