A Synthetic Facultative CAM‐Like Shuttle in C3 Rice Plants

Advanced Science
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is one of the three major forms of photosynthesis, known for its efficient carbon sequestration mechanism. CAM plants store malate at night, which undergoes decarboxylation and promotes Rubisco carboxylation during the ...

Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Basellaceae (Caryophyllales)

, 2018
C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) have evolved in the order Caryophyllales many times but neither C4 nor CAM have been recorded for the Basellaceae, a small family in the CAM‐rich sub‐order Portulacineae.

Sequencing complex plants on a budget: The development of Kalanchoë blossfeldiana as a C3, CAM comparative tool

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Research efforts in plant biology have often been focused on sequenced and well‐studied ‘model’ organisms. Despite the advent of relatively inexpensive genome sequencing, most plant taxonomic groups are underrepresented, with ...

Integrated analysis of DNA methylome and transcriptome reveals epigenetic regulation of CAM photosynthesis in pineapple

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis is an important carbon fixation pathway especially in arid environments because it leads to higher water-use efficiency compared to C3 and C4 plants.

Mutation Pressure and Gene‐Specific Selection Shape Codon Usage Bias in the Chloroplast Genomes of Isoetes, an Ancient Aquatic Vascular Plant Lineage

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study analyzed the chloroplast genomes of 60 Isoetes species to characterize codon usage bias patterns and understand the evolutionary forces shaping this ancient lineage of aquatic vascular plants. The findings reveal a highly conserved chloroplast genome structure with relatively weak codon usage bias, primarily driven by mutation pressure ...

Model approaches to advance crassulacean acid metabolism system integration.

, 2020
This review summarises recent progress in understanding crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) systems and the integration of internal and external stimuli to maximise water-use efficiency.

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Time of day and network reprogramming during drought induced CAM photosynthesis in Sedum album.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
Plants with facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) maximize performance through utilizing C3 or C4 photosynthesis under ideal conditions while temporally switching to CAM under water stress (drought).

The competitive advantage of a constitutive CAM species over a C4 grass species under drought and CO2 enrichment

Ecosphere, 2019
Plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are increasing in distribution and abundance in drylands worldwide, but the underlying drivers remain unknown.
