“…Borya constricta (Gaff and Churchill 1976). The existence of environmentallyinduced desiccation tolerance in a number of unrelated plant species suggests this ability has evolved independently in desiccation-sensitive progenitors (Oliver 2007) and supports the hypothesis that the phenomenon is related to the ability of a large majority of land plants to produce viable dry seed (Gaff 1980;Oliver 2007). This hypothesis, argued further by Gaff and Oliver (in preparation) implies that the genes required are inherent within the genomes of the majority of land plants, and that desiccation tolerance in resurrection plants was acquired by an extension of components of the developmental program used to produce desiccated seed tissue into vegetative tissues.…”

“…Wider roles than stabilisation of protein have been suggested for LEA4 proteins, including increased drought avoidance, membrane permeability and antioxidant enzyme activity (Liu et al 2009). Concurrent action of the various LEA proteins may be needed for desiccation tolerance (Oliver 2007). LEA proteins accumulate late in the maturation of orthodox seed when the embryo is becoming desiccation tolerant.…”

“…Such an induction is evident in 49% of moss species, compared with 26% of moss species with constitutive desiccation tolerance ( Table 2). Constitutive desiccation tolerance has been studied intensively in the moss Tortula ruralis (Bewley 1979;Oliver 2007). A PDT values are original here (DF Gaff) determined by vapour equilibration and from synthesis of chlorophyll of dry yellow leaves when rehydrated (Gaff and Churchill 1976).…”

“…The ability to tolerate severe dehydration, while not tolerating desiccation, appears to be common in mesic bryophytes. Interestingly, for the few mesic species that have been investigated, equilibration to water potentials of −100 MPa and lower (which would constitute true desiccation tolerance) can be achieved by the application of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) (Alpert and Oliver, 2002;Oliver, 2007). For example, protonemal cultures of the mesic moss Funaria hygrometrica can survive dehydration to approximately −70 MPa if water loss is slow but cannot survive if water loss is rapid (Werner et al, 1991).…”
