Abstract: Under arid conditions and the scarcity of water resources, it is desired and demanded to have stress-resistant plants especially environmental stresses in large areas around the world that are suffering from desertification. World agricultural production is in need to sustainability to cover the growing demand for food. Thus, the plant properties that mean high tolerance to more than one environmental stress especially heat, salt and drought is a treasure that must be exploited. The change in the jojoba properties by using few milligrams of plant growth regulators makes the jojoba an invaluable treasure that must be exploited. The rare types of liquid wax in their seeds maximize its industrial and agricultural values. The additional benefits gains by a safe compound such as Proline double its potential to tackle many stressful conditions in the field. Thus, no wonder to see jojoba vegetation covering fast areas of the world desert. The jojoba plant is really deserving to be called the gold of the desert since it is one of the rare plants that can tackle the multiple environmental stresses by highly tolerant vegetation that have a stabilizing nature with low nutrient requirements and a deep root system giving a valuable industrial as set even under harsh conditions.
