Comparative transcriptome analysis suggests convergent evolution of desiccation tolerance in Selaginella species

Abstract Background Desiccation tolerant Selaginella species evolved to survive extreme environmental conditions. Studies to determine the mechanisms involved in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance (DT) have focused on only a few Selaginella species. Due to the large diversity in morphology and...
