• An overview of mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in selected angiosperm resurrection plants (2007, unknown): “Vegetative desiccation tolerance is more common in less complex plants such as bryophytes (Proctor 1990) and lichens (Kappen and Valadares 1999) but is relatively rare in pteridophytes and angiosperms (Gaff 1977, 1989; Porembski and Barthlott 2000; Alpert and Oliver 2002) and absent from gymnosperms”
• 2 Opportunistic Growth and Desiccation Tolerance: The Ecological Success of Poikilohydrous Autotrophs (2007, background): “Porembski and Barthlott (2000) state that 90% of the known vascular poikilohydrous plant species occur on tropical inselbergs.”
• Tropical inselbergs: habitat types, adaptive strategies and diversity patterns (2007, background): “Only ca. 300 species of vascular plants can be classified as being absolutely desiccation-tolerant and are known as the so-called “resurrection plants” (Porembski & Barthlott 2000).”
• Resurrection Plants: The Puzzle of Surviving Extreme Vegetative Desiccation (2005, background): “Among land plants, vegetative desiccation-tolerance is common to a great number of bryophytes and a limited number of vascular plants (Porembski and Barthlott, 2000).”
• Vegetative desiccation tolerance: Is it a goldmine for bioengineering crops? (2009, background): “strongly seasonal tropical and sub-tropical climates [5]; the best studied physiologically are the African Xerophyta scabrida, X.”
• Plant communities on ironstone outcrops: a diverse and endangered Brazilian ecosystem (2007, methodology): “…such as minimal contact with the surface, trichomes or persistent leaf sheaths for isolation, and for water uptake and accumulation, such as succulence, sclerophylly, and desiccation-tolerance (poikilohydry) in the so-called resurrection plants (GaV 1977, 1987; Porembski and Barthlott 2000).”
• Habitat islands in fire‐prone vegetation: do landscape features influence community composition? (2002, background): “Unlike the ‘inselberg’ floras of many parts of the world, the vascular rock outcrop flora of Australia is not dominated by annual, succulent or resurrection plant species characteristic of xeric landscapes (cf. Porembski et al., 1997; Porembski & Barthlott, 2000a, b).”
