Functionally different PIN proteins control auxin flux during bulbil development in Agave tequilana [PDF]

, 2015
In Agave tequilana, reproductive failure or inadequate flower development stimulates the formation of vegetative bulbils at the bracteoles, ensuring survival in a hostile environment.

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Potential drivers of fast growth in Paulownia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 516-529, March 2026.
Trees in the genus Paulownia play a crucial role in sustainable forestry, rural economic development, and carbon mitigation due to their rapid growth, exceptional hardwood properties, and prominent carbon sequestration capacity. This review highlights the societal value of Paulownia trees and synthesizes several potential drivers of extraordinarily ...

Stress Dominance and Niche Conservatism in Epiphytic and Lithophytic Bromeliads Along a Coastal–Inland Gradient

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental filtering shapes bromeliad community assembly along a coastal–inland humidity gradient in southern Brazil. Higher humidity and climatic stability favor niche conservatism and persistence of C3 tank lineages, whereas lower humidity and greater variability promote trait convergence and repeated emergence of atmospheric CAM strategies under ...

Clusia genomes shed light on the evolution and diversity of crassulacean acid metabolism physiotypes

Nature Communications
More than 200 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt described a tree of the genus Clusia for its ability to perform crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).

How prevalent is crassulacean acid metabolism among vascular epiphytes? [PDF]

, 2018
The occurrence of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in the epiphyte community of a lowland forest of the Atlantic slope of Panama was investigated. I hypothesized that CAM is mostly found in orchids, of which many species are relatively small and/or ...

Divergent Transcriptional Architectures Beyond Core CAM Genes in Facultative and Constitutive CAM Species in Tillandsia L.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water‐efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive.

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2386-2401, March 2026.
Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Genome-wide identification, molecular evolution, and expression analysis of the bHLH gene family in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum

Vegetable Research
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) play crucial regulatory roles in plant responses to abiotic stress. However, their molecular evolution and functions in facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, Mesembryanthemum ...

An Improved Method for Extraction and Measurement of the Inorganic Pyrophosphate in Leaves of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) Plants

Plant Production Science, 2001
An improved method for extraction and measurement of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) in the leaves of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, Ananas comosus (pineapple) , Kalanchoë pinnata and K. dotgremontiana is described.
