Abstract

In our experimental conditions detached leaves of the resurrection plant Boea hygroscopica survived equilibration to 65–80% RH (Relative Humidity), but not to very low RH (close to 0%). The first aim of our research was to determine whether sensitivity to equilibration to very low RH depends on the rate of the drying process or on the very low final MC (Moisture Content) attained. The second aim of our research was to determine ABA content of leaves exposed to the two drying processes: a first step towards understanding whether ABA is involved in the tolerance mechanism of Boea hygroscopica.
