Withania coagulans is a valuable medicinal plant with high demand, but its wild growth and local usage pose a threat to its natural habitat. This study aims to understand the plant's growth, anatomy, and physiology in different environmental conditions to aid in conservation and re-vegetation efforts. Fifteen differently adapted populations of Withania coagulans were collected from diverse ecological regions, viz.

Article Synopsis
  • L. is a resilient perennial grass found in various environments, including harsh deserts, with a study focusing on its adaptations to aridity in Punjab, Pakistan.
  • Populations thriving in extreme dryness showed notable structural changes, such as increased root epidermal and leaf thickness, alongside a decrease in root pith cell area.
  • Key survival strategies for these grass populations included the accumulation of organic osmolytes like glycinebetaine and proline, which help retain water and manage stress in arid conditions.

Soil salinization has become a major issue around the world in recent years, as it is one of the consequences of climate change as sea levels rise. It is crucial to lessen the severe consequences of soil salinization on plants. A pot experiment was conducted to regulate the physiological and biochemical mechanisms in order to evaluate the ameliorative effects of potassium nitrate (KNO) on L.
