Introduction

Bartels, Dorothea; Lüttge, Ulrich; Beck, Erwin

Pages: 3 –8

[Evolution of life on earth began in aqueous environments. The oldest fossil records of green photosynthesizing organisms are the stromatolithes of cyanobacteria-like organisms about 3.5 × 109 years old. One of the major problems organisms were facing when leaving the water and conquering the...

Cyanobacteria: Habitats and Species

Büdel, Burkhard

Pages: 11 –21

[Cyanobacteria were most probably the first group of organisms performing an oxygen releasing photosynthesis. Their possible fossil origin (“look-alikes”) from Apex chert of north-western West Australia dates back to about 3.46 billion years (Schopf 2000). However, the oldest unambiguous fossil...

Cyanobacteria: Multiple Stresses, Desiccation-Tolerant Photosynthesis and Di-nitrogen Fixation

Lüttge, Ulrich

Pages: 23 –43

[Cyanobacteria are gram-negative photoautotrophic prokaryotes. Their traditional name, i.e., blue green algae, alludes to an aquatic life. Indeed, many cyanobacteria are bound to a submerged life. However, cyanobacteria are ubiquitous on our planet (Whitton and Potts 2000), and as shown in Chap....

Eukaryotic Algae

Büdel, Burkhard

Pages: 45 –63

[Life on the land surface of the earth is impossible without the presence of water. Even simply organized, early prokaryotic organisms need to keep their cytoplasm hydrated for metabolic activity. The ability of early photosynthetic organisms to survive desiccation was one of the most important...

Lichens and Bryophytes: Habitats and Species

Lakatos, Michael

Pages: 65 –87

[Poikilohydric desiccation tolerance enables lichens and bryophytes to survive long periods of water limitation and to recover quickly by rehydration. The evolutionary success of this strategy is reflected by the fact that cryptogams inhabit almost all terrestrial habitats from the tropics to...

Ecophysiology of Desiccation/Rehydration Cycles in Mosses and Lichens

Green, T. G. Allan; Sancho, Leopoldo G.; Pintado, Ana

Pages: 89 –120

[Although both lichens and bryophytes are all poikilohydric the groups seem to behave very differently. Bryophytes also show a clear preference for wetter areas and this seems to be a result of the different structures of the organisms. A lichen is algae (or cyanobacteria) suspended in a...

Lichens and Bryophytes: Light Stress and Photoinhibition in Desiccation/Rehydration Cycles – Mechanisms of Photoprotection

Heber, Ulrich; Lüttge, Ulrich

Pages: 121 –137

[Many mosses and most of the lichens are desiccation-tolerant poikilohydrous cryptogams. By retaining their chlorophyll and their photosynthetic apparatus during desiccation, they are termed homoiochlorophyllous. In evolutionary terms, this is a primary adaptation. Photosynthetic pigments absorb...

Evolution, Diversity, and Habitats of Poikilohydrous Vascular Plants

Porembski, Stefan

Pages: 139 –156

[Water stress is a common environmental constraint in terrestrial ecosystems. Among the various strategies to cope with temporal lack of water, poikilohydry is an important adaptive trait under specific habitat conditions. Desiccation tolerant vascular plants are particularly common among ferns,...
LitStream

Ecophysiology of Homoiochlorophyllous and Poikilochlorophyllous Desiccation-Tolerant Plants and Vegetations

Tuba, Zoltán; Lichtenthaler, Hartmut K.

Pages: 157 –183

[Some vascular angiosperm plants, which are sometimes addressed as “resurrection plants,” can survive severe drought periods and regain full physiological function in the subsequent rainy season. These desiccation-tolerant (DT) plants are poikilohydric and capable of surviving the loss of at...
LitStream

Hydraulic Architecture of Vascular Plants

Steudle, Ernst

Pages: 185 –207

[When vascular plants are subjected to drought and eventually desiccate, they use different mechanisms to protect against water losses. Within the liquid phase, changes in hydraulics refer to part of these mechanisms of stress avoidance, which exclude the major role of gas exchange. At the input...
