Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Gesneriaceae [PDF]

, 1986
The occurrence of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was studied in four epiphytic species of the Gesneriaceae: two neotropical species, Codonanthe crassifolia and Columnea linearis, and two paleotropical species, Aoschynanthus pulcher and ...

Evolution of a CAM anatomy predates the origins of Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Agavoideae (Asparagaceae) [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2016
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a modified form of photosynthesis that has arisen independently at least 35 times in flowering plants. The occurrence of CAM is often correlated with shifts to arid, semiarid, or epiphytic habits, as well as transitions in leaf morphology (e.g. increased leaf thickness) and anatomy (e.g.

Physiological ecology of Mexican CAM plants: history, progress, and opportunities

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2022
In Mexico, plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are part of the Mexican culture, have different uses and are even emblematic. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of the Mexican CAM plants has been studied physiologically. For this review, the

Carbon and nitrogen metabolic regulation in freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides in response to carbon limitation: A metabolite perspective

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Carbon and nitrogen metabolism are basic, but pivotal metabolic pathways in plants and are tightly coupled. Maintaining the balance of carbon and nitrogen metabolism is critical for plant survival.

Anion channel sensitivity to cytosolic organic acids implicates a central role for oxaloacetate in integrating ion flux with metabolism in stomatal guard cells [PDF]

, 2011
Stomatal guard cells play a key role in gas exchange for photosynthesis and in minimizing transpirational water loss from plants by opening and closing the stomatal pore.

Agrobacterium–mediated Transformation of Kalanchoe laxiflora

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2019
Plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) generally utilize water 20%–80% more efficiently than non-CAM plants. The whole genomes of several CAM plants have been sequenced or are being sequenced.

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

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a carbon-concentrating mechanism that has evolved numerous times across flowering plants and is thought to be an adaptation to water limited environments.

Molecular Cloning of Novel-Type Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Isoforms in Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus)

Plants, 2020
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is an important enzyme involved in the initial CO2 fixation of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis.

Inference of Gene Regulatory Network Uncovers the Linkage between Circadian Clock and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi

Cells, 2021
The circadian clock drives time-specific gene expression, enabling biological processes to be temporally controlled. Plants that conduct crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis represent an interesting case of circadian regulation of gene ...

Physiological and transcriptomic analysis uncovers salinity stress mechanisms in a facultative crassulacean acid metabolism plant Dendrobium officinale

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dendrobium officinale is a precious medicinal Chinese herb that employs facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and has a high degree of abiotic stress tolerance, but the molecular mechanism underlying the response of this orchid to abiotic ...
