Exploitation of genomic sequences in a systematic analysis to access how cyanobacteria sense environmental stress.

abstract：:The possible role of photorespiration as a general stress protection mechanism, and in C(4) plant metabolism, is controversial. In particular, the potential involvement of photorespiration in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance in 'resurrection' plants is unknown. An investigation was carried out into whether pho...
