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 …

Succulent plants represent a large functional group of drought-resistant plants that store
water in specialized tissues. Several co-adaptive traits accompany this water-storage …

Aloe vera L. is one of the most important medicinal plants in the world. In order to determine
the effects of light intensity and water deficit stress on chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and …

The mechanisms involved in the modulation of photosynthesis by drought in non-CAM
desert plants have received little attention and were investigated in this study through …

Ongoing climate changes are expected to intensify drought periods in tropical regions,
directly impacting epiphytic bromeliads that depend on intermittent water availability. This …

The water and nutrient uptake mechanisms used by vascular epiphytes have been the
subject of a few studies. While leaf absorbing trichomes (LATs) are the main organ involved …

The effects of water availability were evaluated on the photosynthetic tissue anatomy in Aloe
vera (L) Burm f. and its relationship with morphological, physiological parameters, and water …

Sweet briar (Rosa rubiginosa) belongs to the group of wild roses. Under natural conditions it
grows throughout Europe, and was introduced also into the southern hemisphere, where it …

As future climates continue to change, precipitation deficits are expected to become more
severe across tropical ecosystems. As a result, it is important that we identify plant …

In several taxa, increasing leaf succulence has been associated with decreasing mesophyll
conductance (g M) and an increasing dependence on Crassulacean acid metabolism …
