Ethnopharmacological relevance Haberlea rhodopensis (HR) use dates back to the
Thracian and Roman periods. Bulgarians call it Orpheus flower and exploit its leaves for …

Haberlea rhodopensis Friv. is unique with its ability to survive two extreme environmental
stresses—desiccation to air-dry state and subzero temperatures. In contrast to desiccation …

Los recursos fitogenéticos comprenden la diversidad vegetal cultivada que tiene un valor

Maintaining a strong antioxidant system is essential for preventing drought-induced
oxidative stress. Thus, in the present study we investigated the role of some non-enzymic …

Resurrection plants have the unique ability to restore normal physiological activity after
desiccation to an air-dry state. In addition to their desiccation tolerance, some of them, such …

The resurrection plant, Haberlea rhodopensis can survive nearly total desiccation only in its
usual low irradiation environment. However, populations with similar capacity to recover …

Haberlea rhodopensis belongs to the small group of resurrection plants having the unique
ability to survive desiccation to air dry state retaining most of its chlorophyll content and then …

The recovery of photosynthetic activity during rehydration of Haberlea rhodopensis from
drought-and freezing-induced desiccation were investigated. The water uptake during the …
