Comparative genome-centric analysis reveals seasonal variation in the function of coral reef microbiomes [PDF]
, 2020 Microbially mediated processes contribute to coral reef resilience yet, despite extensive characterisation of microbial community variation following environmental perturbation, the effect on microbiome function is poorly understood.

Molecular Genetics of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1997 Abstract Most higher plants assimilate atmospheric CO2 through the C3 pathway of photosynthesis using ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). However, when CO2 availability is reduced by environmental stress conditions, the incomplete discrimination of CO2 over O2 by Rubisco leads to increased photorespiration, a ...

Crassulacean acid metabolism: plastic, fantastic [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2002 The occurrence, activity and plasticity of the CAM pathway is described from an introductory viewpoint, framed by the use of the four "Phases" of CAM as comparative indicators of the interplay between environmental constraints and internal molecular and biochemical regulation.

Effects of chilling on the photosynthetic performance of the CAM orchid Phalaenopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 IntroductionCrassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is one of the three main metabolic adaptations for CO2 fixation found in plants. A striking feature for these plants is nocturnal carbon fixation and diurnal decarboxylation of malic acid to feed Rubisco ...

Occurrence of crassulacean acid metabolism in leaves of Aristolochia bracteata Ritz
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Aristolochia bracteata Ritz. is a common weed of fallowlands of hot, semi-arid region of Baramati area. High succulence index was noticed in leaf tissues along with marked diurnal fluctuations in titratable acidity status, and pH of leaf sap.

Why all those spines? Anachronistic defences in the Didiereoideae against now extinct lemurs
South African Journal of Science, 2013 Plants evolve physical defences, such as spines, against browsing herbivores. However, in some cases, these defences may be anachronistic because the principal consumers of protected parts of the plant are extinct.
