Researchers uncover molecular mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in desert moss
A study led by Prof. Zhang Daoyuan from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered the phosphorylation-mediated regulatory mechanisms of desiccation tolerance of Syntrichia caninervis, a model moss for desiccation tolerance research.他们的作品发表在《植物杂志
