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 …

Background and Scope Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) as an ecophysiological
modification of photosynthetic carbon acquisition has been reviewed extensively before …

In this concluding chapter, we review some of the major findings discussed in this book and
their implications for our understanding of the CAM pathway. In particular, we highlight areas …

▪ Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an adaptation of photosynthesis to limited
availability of water or CO2. CAM is characterized by nocturnal CO2 fixation via the cytosolic …

Publisher Summary Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is traditionally illustrated by
succulent plants from arid, semi-desert regions whereby nocturnal stomata1 opening, CO 2 …

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

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), a key adaptation of photosynthetic carbon fixation to
limited water availability, is characterized by nocturnal CO2 fixation and daytime CO2 re …

In plants with Crassulacean acid metabolism, a diel separation of carboxylation processes
mediated by phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and Rubisco optimizes …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) has evolved from a C3 ground state to increase water
use efficiency of photosynthesis. During CAM evolution, selective pressures altered the …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is one of three metabolic pathways found in the
photosynthetic tissues of vascular plants for assimilation of atmospheric CO 2. In contrast to …
