Abstract
The present research focuses on studying the anatomical structure of annual shoots of Alhagi pseudalhagi, growing in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. The Camelthorn plays a huge role in the desert biogeocenosis stability, restrains the advance of sand dunes, and is the main component of the country’s natural pastures. The non-tufted type of structure of Alhagi pseudalhagi offshoots was established in the work; the degree of development of the photosynthetic bark parenchyma of the stem was identified. Diagnostic features of the offshoots were determined - the presence of a two-layer epidermis, unicellular receptacles, a continuous ring of conductive tissues, and a filled core of the stem. The nature of the distribution of reservoirs in the stem and the degree of development of mechanical and conductive elements in wood and bast are considered. The results of the study can be used in further studies of the Alhagi genus in the field of botany, physiology, ecology of desert biogeocenoses.
