Record #129184:

Anoxia tolerance in High Arctic vegetation / Robert M.M. Crawford, H.M. Chapman, H. Hodge.

Title: Anoxia tolerance in High Arctic vegetation / Robert M.M. Crawford, H.M. Chapman, H. Hodge.
Author(s): Crawford, Robert M. M.
Chapman, H. M.
Hodge, H.
Date: 1994.
In: Arctic and Alpine Research. (1994.), Vol. 26(3) (1994)
Abstract: Uniquely high level of anoxia tolerance has been observed in Spitsbergen populations of some common High Arctic vascular plant species. Most surprising aspect is their ability to maintain turgid, green leaves throughout period of anoxia and into postanoxic recovery phase. Green leaves normally wither rapidly when deprived of oxygen. Tests on more southern populations of same species failed to detect similar ability and suggest different evolutionary history. Ability suggests that some Arctic populations of vascular plants may have survived part of Pleistocene epoch at high latitudes in ice-free polar deserts.
