Laying the Foundation for Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) Biodesign: Expression of the C4 Metabolism Cycle Genes of CAM in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized mode of photosynthesis that exploits a temporal CO2 pump with nocturnal CO2 uptake and concentration to reduce photorespiration, improve water-use efficiency (WUE), and optimize the adaptability of ...

Crassulacean acid metabolism as a continuous trait: variability in the contribution of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in populations of Portulacaria afra [PDF]
Heliyon, 2017 Portulacaria afra L. is a dominant facultative CAM species growing in the Southeastern Cape of South Africa. P. afra is well adapted to regions of the Spekboom thicket in areas of limited and sporadic rainfall. P.

Exploring the Relationship between Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) and Mineral Nutrition with a Special Focus on Nitrogen [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is characterized by nocturnal CO2 uptake and concentration, reduced photorespiration, and increased water-use efficiency (WUE) when compared to C3 and C4 plants. Plants can perform different types of CAM and the magnitude and duration of CAM expression can change based upon several abiotic conditions, including ...

The role of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in the adaptation of plants to salinity* [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1993 SUMMARYTwo case studies are presented illustrating how the behaviour of plants using crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) provides adaptation to salinity.Perennial cacti having constitutive CAM show adaptation at the whole‐plant level, engaging regulation of stomata, internal CO2‐recycling and root physiology with salt exclusion. They are stress avoiders.

Facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants: powerful tools for unravelling the functional elements of CAM photosynthesis [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2014 Facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) describes the optional use of CAM photosynthesis, typically under conditions of drought stress, in plants that otherwise employ C3 or C4 photosynthesis. In its cleanest form, the upregulation of CAM is fully reversible upon removal of stress. Reversibility distinguishes facultative CAM from ontogenetically

Evaluation of two native succulent species that can switch from C3 to CAM in salty and dry soils of Lake Urmia [PDF]
Zīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2021 Due to the drying trend of Urmia Lake, climate change and frequent occurrence of droughts in the region, verification of photosynthetic flexibility in the floral elements of Lake Urmia is important.

Underwater CAM photosynthesis elucidated by Isoetes genome
Nature Communications, 2021 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
