Physiological Changes in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum During the C3 to CAM Transition Induced by Salt Stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Salt stress impedes plant growth and development, and leads to yield loss. Recently, a halophyte species Mesembryanthemum crystallinum has become a model to study plant photosynthetic responses to salt stress.

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

Drought does not induce crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) but regulates photosynthesis and enhances nutritional quality of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Physiology and nutritional quality of a facultative CAM plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum under drought stress alone are poorly understood. To induce drought, M. crystallinum was cultured aeroponically with different nutrient spraying intervals such as

Root system architecture analysis in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (ice plant) seedlings reveals characteristic root halotropic response [PDF]
Biology Open, 2021 One of the major environmental stress factors that affect root growth is salinity. Arabidopsis thaliana, a glycophyte, shows halotropism, whereby it alters the direction of root growth in a non-gravitropic pattern to evade high soil salinity.
