Archaea are widespread in marine sediments, but their occurrence and relationship with
natural salinity gradients in estuarine sediments is not well understood. This study …

Vriesea species are tank-type Bromeliaceae, mainly occurring as epiphytes. With their
absorbing trichomes and their leaves arranged into water and nutrient catching tanks, they …

Drought-tolerant species, such as Setaria viridis, a C 4 model plant, make physiological and
biochemical adjustments water limitation and recover from the stress upon its release. We …

CAM requires a substantial investment of resources into storage carbohydrates to account
for nocturnal CO2 uptake, thereby restricting carbohydrate partitioning to other metabolic …

Despite the increased energetic costs of CAM compared with C3 photosynthesis, it is
hypothesized that the inherent photosynthetic plasticity of CAM allows successful …

Three ornamental bromeliads, ie Aechmea 'Maya'(CAM), Aechmea fasciata 'Primera'(CAM)
and Guzmania 'Hilda'(C3) were grown under greenhouse conditions at ambient (380ppm) …

Abstract Background and Aims The deployment of temporally separated carboxylation
pathways for net CO2 uptake in CAM plants provides plasticity and thus uncertainty on how …

Tank bromeliads are highly abundant epiphytes in neotropical forests and form a unique
canopy wetland ecosystem which is involved in the global methane cycle. Although the …

Abstract Background and Aims Photosynthetic plasticity in response to a range of
environmental factors that include [CO2], water availability, light intensity and temperature, is …

The need to determine the variables that help characterize the real water status of vineyards
calls for further research aimed at testing current techniques for water status quantification …
