Abstract

of the expression of LEA proteins in X. viscosa, contributing to its extreme longevity in the dry state.Finally, ABI3 is a major regulator of seed maturation and DT.Some members of the ABI3 regulon in Arabidospsis thaliana are seed specific and their orthologs in X. viscosa are expressed in leaves during dehydration.Our data supports the notion that seed-DT and vegetative-DT evolved from a common ancestor and genes involved are orthologs.
