Resurrection plants, which are the "gifts" of natural evolution, are ideal models for studying the genetic basis of plant desiccation tolerance. Here, we report a high-quality genome assembly of 301 Mb for the diplo...
Selaginella lepidophylla is one of only a few species of spike mosses (Selaginellaceae) that have evolved des-iccation tolerance (DT) or the ability to 'resurrect' from an air-dried state. In order to understand...
Sequencing data from 10 species show that a plant hexokinase (HXK) family contains 5-11 genes. Functionally, a given family can include metabolic catalysts, glucose signaling proteins, and non-catalytic, apparent re...
