Abstract
The global demand for more food and industrial raw material produced by agriculture prescribes the optimal utilization of every potential plant resource. Several Amaranthaceae species are C4-species and adapted to hot climates. Many Chenopodiaceae species are adapted to growth on dry and saline soils, and may be UV-B-tolerant. The plant species are considered as potential new crops for food and industrial raw materials.
