Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM): CO2 and Water Economy

1976
The term Crassulacean acid metabolism characterizes a type of carbon metabolism occurring almost exclusively in succulent plants, and originally only observed in species of the Crassulaceae. Plant species exhibiting CAM1 feature essentially the following activity: 1.

Carbon isotope discrimination in alpine succulent plants supposed to be capable of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)

Oecologia, 1975
1. The 4 alpine species of Sempervivum (S. arachnoideum L., S. montanum L., S. soboliferum Sims, S. wulfenii Hoppe) analyzed in this study showed acidification during the dark period in their natural habitat. The δ13C value of these species varied according to the water supply at their natural habitat, being less negative at dry sites.

A Personal Assessment of the State of Knowledge of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)

1975
To a former worker with Crassulacean plants both the resurgence of interest in CAM and the quality of the work presented at this symposium have provided much personal satisfaction. Although the main impetus to this renewed interest has probably resulted from discoveries about C-4 plants there seem to be two other important factors involved.

Alterations in growth and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) activity of in vitro cultured cactus

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 1999
Unlike C-3 plants, cacti possess a crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) physiology that can alter the pattern of carbon uptake and affect plant growth under artificial environmental conditions, especially in tissue culture. In vitro-derived plantlets of Coryphantha minima grew 7-fold larger than plants cultured under similar ex vitro conditions.

Facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in four small C3 and C4 leaf-succulents

Australian Journal of Botany, 2017
Measurements of whole-plant gas exchange and titratable acidity demonstrate that the Australian native species Anacampseros australiana J.M.Black (Anacampserotaceae), Crassula sieberiana (Schult. & Schult.f.) Druce (Crassulaceae) and Portulaca australis Endl.

On the Evolutionary Pathways Resulting in C4 Photosynthesis and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)

1989
Publisher Summary This chapter describes C 3 –C 4 intermediate photosynthesis and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)-like function in an evolutionary framework that can be used to evaluate some possible paths that may have been taken during the evolution of fully-expressed C 4 photosynthesis and CAM.

The Role of Malic Acid Fluxes in Regulation of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM): Osmoregulation of Efflux at the Tonoplast

1974
Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) of photosynthesis is characterized by large diurnal variations of H+ and malate, i.e. malic acid, levels in the leaves (RANSON and THOMAS, 1960). These diurnal oscillations which, under certain experimental conditions, can also be observed as endogenous rhythms (KLUGE, 1969; WARREN and WILKINS, 1961) appear to be ...
