Photosynthesis in Nontypical C4 Species: C4 Cycles without Kranz Anatomy and C4 Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Transitions

, 2016
All plants and kinds of eukaryotic photoautotrophs use thesame basic pathway for photosynthetic CO2 fixation: the C3cycle (alternatively called photosynthetic carbon reductioncycle or Calvin and Benson cycle).

Sequencing complex plants on a budget: The development of Kalanchoë blossfeldiana as a C3, CAM comparative tool

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Research efforts in plant biology have often been focused on sequenced and well‐studied ‘model’ organisms. Despite the advent of relatively inexpensive genome sequencing, most plant taxonomic groups are underrepresented, with ...

Relationships between Foliar Fungal Endophyte Communities and Ecophysiological Traits of CAM and C₃ Epiphytic Bromeliads in a Neotropical Rainforest

Diversity, 2020
Vascular epiphytes contribute up to 35% of the plant diversity and foliar biomass of flowering plants. The family Bromeliaceae is a monophyletic group of plants native to the Neotropics.

Characterization of a microbial consortium with potential for biological degradation of cactus pear biomass for biofuel production

Heliyon, 2021
Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species that serves as a food, feed, and bioenergy crop. O. ficus-indica is an attractive alternative biofuel feedstock due to its low water demand and high biomass productivity ...

Microbial volatile compounds enhance drought resilience and productivity in CAM and C3 crops

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1820-1833, October 2026.
Microbial volatiles EV and CAMP, derived from Bacillus spp. and Beauveria pseudobassiana associated with agaves and cacti, respectively, enhance drought resilience and productivity in Agave tequilana and tomato. Abstract Plants interact with their associated microbiota through diverse chemical cues, including microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs)

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1813-1819, October 2026.
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

Mutation Pressure and Gene‐Specific Selection Shape Codon Usage Bias in the Chloroplast Genomes of Isoetes, an Ancient Aquatic Vascular Plant Lineage

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study analyzed the chloroplast genomes of 60 Isoetes species to characterize codon usage bias patterns and understand the evolutionary forces shaping this ancient lineage of aquatic vascular plants. The findings reveal a highly conserved chloroplast genome structure with relatively weak codon usage bias, primarily driven by mutation pressure ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.
