Perennial C3 herb, Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin, is grown near the oasis of arid desert in northwest China. The roots of the plant are huge and a type of medicinal herb most in use. Someone argued it is not a xerophyte but a mesophyte. But I am studying its drought resistance mechanism and suppose its secondary metabolites, active constituents of drug have effect on drought tolerance. I do not know if it is correct, please help.
