Fig. 2From: Comparative transcriptome analysis suggests convergent evolution of desiccation tolerance in Selaginella speciesDesiccation tolerance and drying rate of S. sellowii explants. Greenhouse desiccation experiments, the same individual pot is shown in a hydrated or well watered conditions, b desiccated state (1 month withholding water), c 48 h after rehydration, d 1 week after rehydration. e Dehydration of explants expressed as the percentage loss of initial water content, points represent mean values of 4 replicates ± SD. f Changes in morphology during water loss and rehydration, scale bar 1 cmBack to article page
