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 plant 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 use 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 mucilage which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the 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 and plant pests

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 fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting
