Population Genetics Reveals Insights Into <i>Cryophytum</i> Biogeography in South Africa. [PDF]
This study investigated the population genetic structure, biogeography and environmental drivers of divergence in Cryophytum crystallinum and C. guerichianum, two closely related Mesembryanthemoideae species, and evaluated a putative hybrid. Cryophytum crystallinum showed genetically similar populations at either end of its coastal range, with ...

Overexpression of cytosolic NADP-malic enzyme 1 from the common ice plant enhances water-deficit and high-light stress tolerance by modulating water-use efficiency and flavonoid biosynthesis. [PDF]
SUMMARY Innovative strategies are essential to enhance crop resilience against drought and heat stress intensified by climate change. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized photosynthetic pathway that improves water‐use efficiency (WUE) by shifting CO2 fixation to the nighttime. The common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) utilizes
