Ecophysiology of Antarctic Vascular Plants: An Update on the Extreme Environment Resistance Mechanisms and Their Importance in Facing Climate Change

Antarctic flowering plants have become enigmatic because of their unique capability to colonize Antarctica. It has been shown that there is not a single trait that makes <i>Colobanthus quitensis</i> and <i>Deschampsia antarctica</i> so special, but rather a set of morphophysi...
