Gas exchange in forage cactus cultivars of genera Opuntia and Nopalea (Cactaceae) [PDF]
Forage cactus species are cultivated in northeaster Brazil for feed, mainly during dry periods, as cacti are xerophytes well adapted to drought. Gas exchange studies have elucidated the physiological mechanisms underlying plant adaptation to ecosystems ...

Underwater CAM photosynthesis elucidated by Isoetes genome
Despite extensive characterization of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in terrestrial angiosperms, little attention has been given to aquatics and early diverging land plants. Here, the authors assemble the genome of Isoetes taiwanensis and investigate

Crassulacean Acid Metabolism and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Modifications in Peperomia camptotricha [PDF]
Peperomia camptotricha, a tropical epiphyte from Mexico, shows variable forms of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Young leaves exhibit CAM-cycling, while mature leaves show an intermediate type of metabolism, between CAM and CAM-cycling, having approximately the same amount of nighttime gas exchange as daytime.

Mechanisms Underlying the C3–CAM Photosynthetic Shift in Facultative CAM Plants
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), one of three kinds of photosynthesis, is a water-use efficient adaptation to an arid environment. CAM is characterized by CO2 uptake via open stomata during the nighttime and refixation CO2 via the Calvin cycle during ...
