Insights into the cellular mechanisms of desiccation tolerance among angiosperm resurrection plant species (2004, unknown): “These plants are termed poikilochlorophyllous plants (PDT) and many of them are monocotyledons (Gaff 1977; Hetherington et al. 1982; Tuba et al. 1994; Sherwin & Farrant 1996; Farrant et al. 2003).”
Nature's Swiss Army Knife: The Diverse Protective Roles of Anthocyanins in Leaves (2004, background): “Anthocyanins, for example, are associated with enhanced resistance to the effects of chilling and freezing [82, 83, 84, 85, 86], to heavy metal contamination [87, 88, 89, 90], to desiccation [91, 92, 93], and to wounding [76, 94, 95].”
Resurrection Plants: The Puzzle of Surviving Extreme Vegetative Desiccation (2005, background): “…the formation of ROS consists in reducing the light-chlorophyll interaction by leaf folding and in synthesizing large amounts of anthocyanins that mask chlorophylls, reflect light, and can also act as antioxidants (Sherwin and Farrant, 1998; Tuba et al., 1998; Farrant, 2000; Farrant et al., 2003).”
