resurrection plant การใช้
- Venus Flytrap, sensitive plant and resurrection plant are examples of plants sold as novelties.
- In 2010, Farrant was awarded the ?100, 000 Harry Oppenheimer Fellowship Award for her research into resurrection plants.
- Some of the plants include the African resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum, the African grass Sporobolus stapfianus, and the fern Polypodium virginianum.
- This fern is well known as a resurrection plant due to its ability to withstand desiccation and subsequently recover on rewetting.
- This phenomenon is known as poikilohydry ), and poikilohydric plants such as " Selaginella bryopteris " are sometimes referred to as resurrection plants.
- Farrant became interested in resurrection plants as a child when she saw a " dead " plant'come back to life'after a rain fall.
- Common names include "'Orpheus flower "'and "'resurrection plant "'because of the remarkable ability of " Haberlea " to survive very long periods of desiccation.
- "Selaginella lepidophylla " is easily confused with " Anastatica " : both species are resurrection plants and form tumbleweeds, and they share the common name " rose of Jericho ".
- Despite the zygomorphic nectar-producing flowers ( which are considered an ansestral character ) and the overall trend in Gesneriaceae, resurrection plant is only rarely pollinated by bees and does not have specific pollinators.

- A few species of " Selaginella " are desert plants known as " resurrection plants ", because they curl up in a tight, brown or reddish ball during dry times, and uncurl and turn green in the presence of moisture.
- Aside from most seeds and spores, only about 300 species of vascular plants are desiccation-tolerant, including resurrection plants ( such as " Selaginella lepidophylla " ) and aerophytes ( including some species of " Tillandsia " ) [ citation needed ].
- Even within the plant kingdom, " Selaginella " ( sometimes called the resurrection plant ), which grows in desert and mountainous areas, may be cracked and dried out, but will turn green again and revive after a rain because of the function of trehalose.
