  • New Study Uncovers 62 Desiccation-Tolerant Plant Species in India's Western Ghats

    Desiccation-tolerant (DT) plants have the extraordinary ability to endure extreme dehydration, losing up to 95% of their water content, and subsequently reviving themselves once water becomes available again. This resilience allows them to thrive in harsh conditions that would be inhospitable to most other plant species. In tropical regions, DT plants dominate rock outcrops, forming a vital part of their ecosystem.
