CRASSULACEAN ACID METABOLISM: Molecular Genetics
, 1999 ▪ Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an adaptation of photosynthesis to limited availability of water or CO2. CAM is characterized by nocturnal CO2 fixation via the cytosolic enzyme PEP carboxylase (PEPC), formation of PEP by glycolysis ...

Photosynthetic Characteristics and Antioxidative Responses in Three Species of Crassulaceae Following Drought Stress [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2010 Photosynthetic characteristics and induction of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) by drought stress were investigated in Sedum album, Sedum stoloniferum and Rosularia elymaitica from Crassulaceae.

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 ...

Engineering crassulacean acid metabolism to improve water-use efficiency
Climatic extremes threaten agricultural sustainability worldwide. One approach to increase plant water-use efficiency (WUE) is to introduce crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) into C-3 crops.

Regulation of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism at the protein level in the CAM plant Kalanchoë laxiflora
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an adaptation to environments where water availability is seasonal or extremely low. It serves to ensure survival and/ or maintain productivity in these adverse environments. CAM has repeatedly evolved although it requires a large and complex set of enzymes and transporters and regulatory processes to control ...
