Abstract
Plants exhibit physiological, morphological, biochemical and molecular adaptations to maintain growth, development and survival under climate change fluctuations. This research aimed to analyse the secondary metabolites produced in Alhagi maurorum leaves under different environmental stresses. Secondary metabolites were extracted using Ethanol solvent using Soxhlet apparatus. FTIR and GC-MS analyses were applied to detect the metabolites produced in Alhagi leaves. The results exhibit the detection of 24 compounds at different peaks that were produced in the camel thorn that was naturally grown in the field under climatic stressors. These compounds are involved in the metabolic and physiological processes to grow and survive. The research concluded that environmental fluctuations have a direct influence on the metabolic compounds produced in the plant to cope with stressors and differ from the results concluded in the literature. The number and type of compounds detected showed that the leaves exhibit morphological adaptations to cope environment rather than metabolic adaptations compared to other plant parts and compared to the literature.
