Description | Antarctic regions involve a great variety ofhabitats characterized by environmental stressors and life forms of autotrophic organisms with unique survival and functioning mechanisms. Lichens and mosses from these regions have evolved adaptations to perform photosynthesis at subzero temperatures. In this study we analyzed interspecific differences in primary photosynthetic processes in Antarctic species, including mosses and lichens, affected by low and subzero temperature stress. |
