Changes in Foliar Water Uptake Caused by Water Stress in Cattleya Lindl. (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT In response to water restrictions imposed by the epiphytic environment, orchids have developed strategies to increase water‐use efficiency, such as the expression of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) and the foliar water uptake (FWU). In a climate change scenario, FWU may emerge as a strategy to reduce water stress during drought.

Facultative CAM and photosynthetic electron transport: unravelling the salinity acclimation puzzle in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceProgressive soil salinisation is a major constraint to agriculture, and deciphering resistance strategies in plants adapted to such harsh environments has the potential for improving salinity tolerance in crops. Efficient regulation of the photosynthetic

Techniques and challenges in studying photosynthetic diversity in freshwater submerged vascular plants [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 4, July-August 2026.Abstract While the photosynthetic diversity of aquatic plants rivals that of terrestrial species, the environmental conditions underlying that diversity fundamentally differ. Despite these environmental differences, aquatic and terrestrial plants have convergently evolved carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs).

Systems analysis of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) physiology and molecular biology [PDF]
, 2023 The main theme of this thesis was to explore the regulatory landscape of CAM using systems biology approaches. The scope of the regulatory landscape was drawn around the mesophyll metabolism of the dicotyledonous obligate CAM genus, *Kalanchoe*, even though the computational frameworks that had been developed here can also be applied to other species ...

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective [PDF]
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes
