Kruger, Lynette Anne Farrant, Jill M Sherwin, Heather Botany Bibliography: pages 110-123. To date, most of the studies on the homoiochlorophyllous desiccation-tolerant (HDT) plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius have been conducted on excised twigs or leaves. In this study drying (including prolonged exposure to the dry state), and recovery of whole plants was compared with that of detached twigs dried off the plant, and also with twigs excised after having dried on the plant. Study of the leaf response during drying and recovery in the presence and/or absence of roots, and following prolonged desiccation, can contribute towards understanding the mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in M. flabellifolius. 2016-02-29T12:06:19Z 2016-02-29T12:06:19Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17369 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
