Characterizing the transcriptional regulation of crassulacean acid metabolism in Kalanchoe
… is of increasing importance. Species performing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis have evolved to be naturally water-use efficient primarily through shifting their carbon uptake to night to minimize water-loss. Relative to C3 and C4 photosynthesis species, CAM plants are enriched …

Systems analysis of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) physiology and molecular biology
… landscape was drawn around the mesophyll metabolism of the dicotyledonous obligate CAM genus, *Kalanchoe*, even though the computational frameworks that had been developed here can also be applied to other species. The first result chapter presented the Ordinary Differential Equation …

Mechanisms Controlling Day/Night Changes in CAM Tissue Volume, With a Focus on the Kansas Cactus, Opuntia macrorhiza
Day/night changes in organs volume of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) plants have been observed. The objective of this study is to determine the most important mechanism that controls day/night changes of organ thickness in CAM plants. In this study, day/night changes in organ volume and morning …

Decoding DNA: scalable genome annotation software, generative AI, and application to the cactus pear genome
… genus and a foundational tool for research into crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and drought tolerance in plants. To improve the capacity of genome annotation tools to predict full-length, alternatively spliced transcripts ab initio, a deep learning transformer model was developed to …

Opuntia ficus-indica: a climate-resilient biomass feedstock for low-input drylands agriculture
… heat and drought tolerance, a thick cuticle, and crassulacean acid metabolism. The molecular composition that drives these adaptations is not well known. Furthermore, the tools needed to further analyze mechanisms, including genetic transformation and genome editing, have not been established in …

Plant morphology and gas exchange in Hesperaloe: Influence on its adaptation for cultivation.
… H. nocturna is the possession of constitutive crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The major implication of CAM is a prominent water use efficiency (WUE). Although instantaneous net CO₂ uptake rates of both Hesperaloe funifera and H. nocturna are low when compared with C₃ plants, integrated …

Determination of a robust metabolic barcoding model for chemotaxonomy in Aizoaceae species : expanding morphological and genetic understanding
… least some Aizoaceae species facultatively use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), there was a potentially interesting molecular switch that could be monitored for transitions in metabolic fingerprints. In order to contextualise the changes in carbon uptake, 20 different climate, nutrient, …

Ecology and Molecular Phylogenetics of <i>Hydnora</i> (Hydnoraceae) in Southern Africa
… in <em>Hydnora</em> relative to their CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) hosts; other mineral concentrations were significantly lower in the parasite or were not different. Stable isotope fractionation in host tissues dictated significant differences between parasite and host δ …

Unraveling Paleoenvironmental Stress in the Late Devonian and Mississippian: Insights into Redox Dynamics and Photosynthetic Adaptations Elucidated Through Geochemical Proxies
… alternative photosynthetic pathway such as the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) in Mississippian arborescent lycopsids. We find that all studied plant fossils had similar carbon isotope compositions. The lack of isotopic difference between the coeval C3 plants and that of lycopsids leaves open …

Catalytic Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives
… benign process to produce carboxylic acids and their derivatives, which are the building blocks for biofuels and biobased chemicals, from various lignocellulosic biomass types using recyclable heterogeneous catalysts in water and/or alcohol solutions. In this process, wet …
