Biochemistry of Plants Growing Naturally Under Semi-Arid Conditions

Meer over het boek

The book explores the adaptation of Butea monosperma, a dominant tree species in Sanjay van, a semi-arid tropical dry deciduous forest in southeast Rajasthan, India. It highlights how this tree thrives in challenging conditions such as water scarcity, mineral deficiency, high irradiance, and elevated temperatures. The study showcases the tree's remarkable traits, particularly its photosynthetic performance and efficiency in phosphorus acquisition, along with the activities of V-ATPase and V-PPase, which contribute to its resilience in a harsh environment.
