A new pentacyclic triterpenoid, 3alpha-(3",4"-dihydroxy- trans-cinnamoyloxy)- D-friedoolean-14-en-28-oic acid ( 1) has been isolated along with two known compounds, rhamnocitrin ( 2) and isorhamnetin ( 3) from the aerial parts of Tamarix hispida Willd. Compound 1 was found to be a potent antioxidant. In addition, compounds 1 - 3 showed significant inhibitory activity against prolylendopeptidase (PEP).

PHD proteins are an important class of transcription factors (TFs) that are widely distributed in eukaryotes and play crucial roles in many aspects of plant growth, development and response to stress. We identified a transcription factor, ThPHD5, from the PHD family in Tamarix hispida based on its potential involvement in abiotic stress response processes. In this study, the salt tolerance function of ThPHD5 from T.

The objective of this study was to screen air pollution-induced stress in some plant species in the Sejzi industrial region (Isfahan, Iran). An assessment of APTI and other physiological and biochemical features of significant species in the area was conducted across three seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. The physiological and biochemical factors of the following species were evaluated: Limonium persicum, Atriplex lentiformis, Nitraria schoberi, Haloxylon persicum, Tamarix hispida, Zygophyllum atriplicoides, Karelinia caspica, and Prosopis farcta.

Arid ecosystems, characterized by severe water scarcity, play a crucial role in preserving Earth's biodiversity and resources. The Tarim Basin in Northwestern China, a typical arid region isolated by the Tianshan Mountains and expansive deserts, provides a special study area for investigating how plant response and adaptation to such environments. Tamarix hispida, a species well adapted to saline-alkaline and drought conditions, dominates in the saline-alkali lands of the Tarim Basin.

Introduction: Population-level competition and spatial patterns may explain the role of competitive exclusion in communities, which is important for vegetation restoration and biodiversity conservation.
Methods: We analyzed the competitive intensity, spatial patterns, and renewal of Oliv. forests in the Tarim River Basin using the Hegyi competition index and spatial point pattern analysis in a completely random model with different habitats and different forest ages.
