The Development of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) Photosynthesis in Cotyledons of the C₄ Species, Portulaca grandiflora (Portulacaceae) [PDF]

Plants, 2020
Portulaca grandiflora simultaneously utilizes both the C4 and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic pathways. Our goal was to determine whether CAM developed and was functional simultaneously with the C4 pathway in cotyledons of P ...

Shared expression of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) genes predates the origin of CAM in the genus Yucca [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018
Highlight: Although large differences in metabolism exist between C 3 and CAM species, we find that many CAM genes have shared expression patterns regardless of photosynthetic pathway, suggesting ancestral propensity for CAM.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes and Alternative Splicing Events Associated with Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in Orchids

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2019
Phalaenopsis equestris is an obligate crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant with high ornamental and economic value. CAM photosynthesis is associated with drought tolerance and efficient water utilization, which enhances the survival rate of CAM ...

Identification and characterization of pineapple leaf lncRNAs in crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis pathway [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in many mammals and plants and are known to play crucial roles in multiple biological processes. Pineapple is an important tropical fruit and a good model for studying the plant evolutionary adaptation to the dry environment and the crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis strategy ...

Perspectives on the basic and applied aspects of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) research

Plant Science, 2018
Due to public concerns about the decreasing supply of blue water and increasing heat and drought stress on plant growth caused by urbanization, increasing human population and climate change, interest in crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), a specialized type of photosynthesis enhancing water-use efficiency (WUE) and drought tolerance, has increased ...

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

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.

Constitutive and facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in Cuban oregano, Coleus amboinicus (Lamiaceae) [PDF]

Functional Plant Biology, 2020
Plants exhibiting the water-conserving crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic pathway provide some of the most intriguing examples of photosynthetic diversity and plasticity. Here, a largely unnoticed facet of CAM-plant photosynthesis is highlighted: the co-occurrence of ontogenetically controlled constitutive and environmentally controlled ...

Australia lacks stem succulents but is it depauperate in plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)? [PDF]

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016
In the flora of Australia, the driest vegetated continent, crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), the most water-use efficient form of photosynthesis, is documented in only 0.6% of native species. Most are epiphytes and only seven terrestrial. However, much of Australia is unsurveyed, and carbon isotope signature, commonly used to assess photosynthetic ...

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

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).
