Ecological and physiological specificity of Portulaca oleraceae L. vegetative organs in conditions of Zaporozhye region

Abstract

Mesophyte plants struggle with overheating and salinization by means of specific morphological and anatomical alterations of individual organs, have a reduced level of metabolic processes, are characterized by increased viscosity of the cytoplasm, high content of bound water in the cell, etc. Using this ability, especially at a young age, you can aim to change the nature of the plant and create high-yielding forms that are capable of undergoing soil and air drought and bring in such conditions a greater yield that is of tremendous importance to humans.
