Anticancer attributes of desert plants
Anti-Cancer Drugs, 2012The ever-increasing emergence of the resistance of mammalian tumor cells to chemotherapy and its severe side effects reduces the clinical efficacy of a large variety of anticancer agents that are currently in use. Thus, despite the significant progress in cancer therapeutics in the last decades, the need to discover and to develop new, alternative, or ...

SODIUM RELATIONS IN DESERT PLANTS
Soil Science, 1982Plants native to the Qattara Depression of Egypt show remarkable zonation in response to changing environmental factors. These factors include: relief, soil texture, soil salt content, relative proportions of ions, and quality of available water. Most species also show considerable selectivity in the absorption of mineral elements. This is indicated by

Antimicrobial Activity of Desert Plants
Nature, 1964THE desert is an area in which less than 20 per cent of the ground surface is covered with vegetation. Although there are approximately 5,000 species of plants, less than 1 per cent of these have been investigated for antimicrobial activity1–10. This communication is concerned with the extracts prepared from the leafy portions of 25 plant specimens ...

Texts on desert geomorphology have tended to pay little attention to the presence of vegetation. The main landforming processes in desert environments are fluvial and aeolian, which operate on a surface with a very reduced vegetation cover. Indeed vegetation is absent in many areas.

Plant Nutrients in Desert Soils
1993A general understanding of desert soils and the plant nutrients that they contain may be obtained from a brief review of the desert areas in the southwestern USA. Within this general region there are many individual desert areas, surrounded by semiarid grasslands, and subhumid forests.

In this chapter the ability of desert plants to cope with their environment will be discussed. The traits that enable these plants to function (e. g. germinate, grow, reproduce) can be described as an adaptation; that is, certain plants are endowed with adaptations that allow them to live under conditions that would be very hostile for other groups of ...
