Functional Aspects of Early Light-Induced Protein (ELIP) Genes from the Desiccation-Tolerant Moss <i>Syntrichia caninervis</i>
The early light-induced proteins (ELIPs) are postulated to act as transient pigment-binding proteins that protect the chloroplast from photodamage caused by excessive light energy. Desert mosses such as <i>Syntrichia caninervis</i>, that are desiccation-tolerant and homoiochlorophyllous,...
