answer to each question Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands Consequently, those plants species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands Plants uses several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant’s surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilages which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the THƯ VIỆN SEN VÀNG BỘ SƯU TẬP ĐỀ ÔN LUYỆN HSG TIẾNG ANH LỚP 12 epicuticular wax layer This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to protect the plant It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include bacteria ant plant pets Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant’s ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizers availability, attacked by pets, and poor storage after harvesting 61.This passage deals mainly with A desertification B decreasing water supply C factors limiting crop production D developing efficient plants 62 The word “arable” is closest
