Description Not Available
Hot arid region of India endowed with rich plant diversity which occurs on a
wide range of habitats. These highly specialized species are adapted to grow in
harsh climatic conditions of this region with a great potential of economic and
environmental importance. These highly adapted species have specific traits
and are vital for mitigating anticipated adverse effects of climate change. Thediverse gene pool of these species offers a good scope for selection for tolerance
to a wide range of abiotic stresses such as moisture deficit, salinity and
temperature in harsh arid environment. Further, plant diversity of the hot arid
region is under severe and consistent stress due to occurrence of frequent
drought and irrational exploitation. There is an urgent need to create greater
awareness amongst the inhabitants/farmers for their sustainable utilization and
conservation of arid plant biodiversity in farming system perspective.
