Научные исследования раскрывают происхождение дерева из жизни, баобаба

Ученые из Калифорнийского университета в Лос-Анджелесе и Университета Калифорнии в Ирвине изучили происхождение дерева из жизни, баобаба. Исследование, опубликованное в журнале “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”, показало, что баобабы возникли в результате гибридизации между предками хлещеилиевых и более древних деревьев.

Баобабы, известные своими массивными стволами и плодами, произрастают в Африке, Мадагаскаре, Австралии и других тропических и субтропических регионах. Их называют “деревьями жизни” из-за их способности выживать в экстремальных условиях и предоставлять пищу, воду и укрытие животным и людям.

Исследователи утверждают, что баобабы важны для экосистем и играют ключевую роль в сохранении биоразнообразия в этих регионах. Их открытие происхождения дерева из жизни, баобаба, поможет в дальнейшем изучении и сохранении этого удивительного растения.
