Adaptations of Plants In Deserts Deserts are too dry and hot to imagine life in them. Despite these arid conditions, few plants have adapted to thrive here. The spines on cacti help prevent excessive loss of water Succulents are such plants which can store water in their modified stems and ...

Adaptations to life in the desert were studied in brown hares (Lepus capensis) from the Negev Desert of Israel. For comparison, brown hares from a temperate region in southern France were included in the study. All animals sustained themselves on dry alfalfa hay. The desert hares, however, re...
Coumarins, a prominent class of allelochemicals derived from the lactonization of o-hydroxycinnamic acid (o-HCA), are ubiquitously present in higher plants and are biosynthesized via the phenylpropanoid pathway [1,2]. Functionalized coumarins have been synthesized and evaluated for their capacity to ...

when ruminants are reared in such habitats throughout the year is unclear. Hence, the rumen microbiome of yak (less domesticated) and cattle (domesticated) reared on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau through the year were assessed to evaluate temporal changes in their composition, function, and stability...

Subnival glasshouse plants provide a text-book example of high-altitude adaptation with reproductive organs enclosed in specialized semi-translucent bracts, monocarpic reproduction and continuous survival under stress. Here, we present genomic, transcrip
