The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Vegetative desiccation tolerance: Is it a goldmine for bioengineering crops? (2009, background): “Putative functions were assigned to 653 of these clones after comparison with protein databases, whereas 212 sequences were significantly similar to known sequences whose functions are unclear and 181 sequences having no similarity to known sequences [27].”
Desiccation tolerance: From genomics to the field (2010, unknown): “proteins, ELIPs, HSPs [115]”
The Enigmatic LEA Proteins and Other Hydrophilins1[W] (2008, background): “…in different organisms of the Plantae kingdom, in nonvascular plants, like the moss P. patens (Saavedra et al., 2006), in seedless vascular plants such as the lycopod Selaginella lepidophylla (Iturriaga et al., 2006), and, more commonly, in all seed plants investigated (Supplemental Table S2).”
2 Opportunistic Growth and Desiccation Tolerance: The Ecological Success of Poikilohydrous Autotrophs (2007, background): “The percentage of functional categories, which were disease=defense-related comprising induction of secondary metabolism, molecular chaperons, and LEA proteins, was significantly higher in the poikilohydrous Selaginella species (Iturriaga et al. 2006).”
