Climatic extremes threaten agricultural sustainability worldwide. One approach to increase
plant water-use efficiency (WUE) is to introduce crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) into C …

Facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) describes the optional use of CAM
photosynthesis, typically under conditions of drought stress, in plants that otherwise employ …

This is the third edition of an established and successful university textbook. The original
structure and philosophy of the book continue in this new edition, providing a genuine …

In plants exhibiting crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), CAM photosynthesis almost
always occurs together with C3 photosynthesis, and occasionally with C4 photosynthesis …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an important elaboration of photosynthetic carbon
fixation that allows chloroplast-containing cells to fix CO2 initially at night using …

The occurrence, activity and plasticity of the CAM pathway is described from an introductory
viewpoint, framed by the use of the four 'Phases' of CAM as comparative indicators of the …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialised mode of photosynthesis that
improves atmospheric CO2 assimilation in water-limited terrestrial and epiphytic habitats …

Abstract Background In obligate Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), up to 99% of CO2
assimilation occurs during the night, therefore supporting the hypothesis that CAM is …

Tissue succulence in plants involves the storage of water in one or more organs or tissues to
assist in maintaining water potentials on daily or seasonal time scales. This drought …

The photosynthetic specialization of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) has evolved
many times in response to selective pressures imposed by water limitation. Integration of …
