Abstract
"In recent years several desert plant species, including Solanum centrale (the desert raisin), have been proposed as subjects for research which will assist development of these species for food production. In particular, the below-ground features of many desert species are poorly understood despite their importance in survival and reproduction though drought, frost and fire, and in obtaining the scarce water and mineral nutrients of the arid region. This review consolidates the scattered information on S. centrale and contains a consideration of the root morphology and mycorrhizal associations in plant species with either similar taxonomy or a similar natural environment to the desert raisin." - Introduction,
