Abstract

The phenomenon of free proline accumulation in plants exposed to diverse environmental stress has considerable ecophysiological significance. Sixty-five plant species of the Indian desert were examined for proline content; of these, 54 showed the presence of proline. Some plants were studied both under non-stressed and stressed conditions to determine the effect of artificial watering on proline appearance. Increase in the accumulation of proline under stress led to separation of these species into three categories. Some of the well-adapted desert plants do not accumulate proline at all.
