• Salvadora persica is a large shrub or small tree of Thar Desert.
• The branches are drooping, terete and glabrous.
• A typical desert plant grows as a mangrove perennial tree as well as under extreme saline (salt stress) and drought conditions. Thus the seeds are dispersed by the birds.
• The plant produces three types of fruits, i.e. pink, purple and white.
• The purple fruit bearing plants showed better seed traits, viz. seed weight, size, thickness, volume, density and viability and germination percentage as compared to other two types of fruit bearing plant. Hence, in the present studies seeds of purple fruit bearing plants were selected to develop agro techniques.
• The leaves are shed twice in a year, i.e. October-November and February-March, but plant never becomes leafless throughout the year. New leaves appear twice in a year, first during April-May and second during September to December and thereafter new leaves develop slowly.
• During winter season (cold stress) anthocyanin pigments have been noticed in leaves.
• The gall formation has been commonly observed on every plant part except roots. These galls have been reported to possess some growth promoting principles.
