The Department of Biology at the College of Science has organized a lecture entitled “The Green Miracle” in the presence of a number of students, researchers and those concerned with agricultural affairs and nutrition. The lecture was delivered by Dr. Alaa Mohamed Hassan who tried to shed light on the plants of the desert environment, which have several characteristics that enable them to continue their lives despite the difficulty of the surrounding environmental conditions as one of the types of plants that grow in areas with dry, arid and waterless soil, and that are having the ability to adapt and survive, despite the lack of areas in which they grow, in addition to possessing many features that help them resist dry and hot conditions.
The lecturer referred to about five hundred thousand species of plants that have special importance in human life and represent a treasure without limits, indicating that they are the source of fresh air, and an impermeable source of food that humans need and even they are considered as a promising source of energy, stressing that the unique harmony between the enormous energy of the sun and green plants in the earth is a fundamental reason for being a source of food for human beings.
