Differences in growth characteristics and dynamics of elements absorbed in seedlings of three spruce species raised on serpentine soil in northern Japan.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Successful cryopreservation of bryophytes is linked to intrinsic desiccation tolerance and survival can be enhanced by pre-treatment with abscisic acid (ABA) and sucrose. The pioneer moss Ditrichum plumbicola is naturally subjected to desiccation in the field but showed unexpectedly low survival of ...
