Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]
, 2002 Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...

Adaptational Mechanisms of Epiphytic Orchids: A Review
International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management, 2022 Orchidaceae belongs to the 84 families of vascular plants that cover species following the epiphytic life pattern. Adaptations are specialized mechanisms that permit a plant or animal to live in a particular area or habitat.

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Assayed at Physiological Concentrations of Metal Ions Has a High Affinity for CO2 [PDF]
, 2002 The effect of Mn2+/Mg2+ concentration on the activity of intact, homogeneous phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) from leaves of the C4 grass, Guinea grass (Panicum maximum), have been investigated.

Evidence of drought stress memory in the facultative CAM, Aptenia cordifolia: Possible role of phytohormones [PDF]
, 2017 Although plant responses to drought stress have been studied in detail in several plant species, including CAM plants, the occurrence of stress memory and possible mechanisms for its regulation are still very poorly understood.

Crassulacean acid metabolism photosynthesis: ‘working the night shift’ [PDF]
Photosynthesis Research, 2003 Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) can be traced from Roman times through persons who noted a morning acid taste of some common house plants. From India in 1815, Benjamin-Heyne described a 'daily acid taste cycle' with some succulent garden plants. Recent work has shown that the nocturnally formed acid is decarboxylated during the day to become the CO ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Plants, 2021 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme, which is crucial for plant carbon metabolism. PEPC participates in photosynthesis by catalyzing the initial fixation of atmospheric CO2 and is abundant in both C4 and crassulacean ...

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT By 2050, the global population is projected to reach ~10 billion, leading to 50% increase in food demand. This growth will place immense pressure on agricultural systems that are already struggling with the impacts of climate change and resource depletion.

CAM Models: Lessons and Implications for CAM Evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The evolution of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) by plants has been one of the most successful strategies in response to aridity. On the onset of climate change, expanding the use of water efficient crops and engineering higher water use efficiency ...
