In botany, drought tolerance is the ability by which a plant maintains its biomass production during arid or drought conditions. [1] [2] [3] Some plants are naturally adapted to dry conditions, surviving with protection mechanisms such as desiccation tolerance, detoxification, or repair of xylem embolism. [3]
Echinacea species are herbaceous, drought-tolerant perennial plants growing up to 140 cm (4 ft 7 in) in height. They grow from taproots, except E. purpurea, which grows from a short caudex with fibrous roots. They have erect stems that in most species are unbranched.
It is a drought-tolerant phanerophyte. Nitrogen-fixing actinomycete bacteria form root nodules on Ceanothus roots. [4] [5] Its stems are round yellow to pale green in color with either small soft to straight stiff sharp hairs parallel to or in contact with the surface of the stem,. [3] [6] The leaves are glossy, deciduous and 2.5–8 cm long ...
An important feature of Chloris gayana is its drought tolerance. [6]: 70 The reason why it is drought tolerant can be found in its roots. Production may effect with mild drought period if it is cultivated for forage purpose. Chloris gayana roots are able to extract water at a depth of 4.25 meters. [3]
Sphagneticola calendulacea is a perennial herb in the genus Sphagneticola. It is found in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Taiwan,Bangladesh and Vietnam. [2] [3] Tolerant to drought, humidity and barren environment, S. calendulacea is a common herbaceous plant in China and Taiwan.
Berberis trifoliolata is exceptionally drought and heat tolerant. [20] Thus, they also grow in dry periods without being watered. It usually grows best in full sun, but it can also be cultivated in light shade. Additionally, the plant is not very cold tolerant and is therefore especially grown in places where winters are short and mild.
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree of the family Moringaceae, native to Northern India and used extensively in South and Southeast Asia. [2] Common names include moringa , [ 3 ] drumstick tree [ 3 ] (from the long, slender, triangular seed-pods), horseradish tree [ 3 ] (from the taste of the roots, which resembles ...
It blooms in late spring/early summer in hot, dry weather. Flowering is profuse, with trees being covered with yellow flowers, many times with almost no visible leaves. It grows well in dry climates. Growth for this tree is best in full sun on well-drained soil; it is relatively drought-tolerant and slightly salt-tolerant.
