On the basis of investigations in CAM plants, a stoichiometry of [2H.
The best CAM plant with commercial importance is the pineapple.
Instead of partitioning metabolites in space (between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells), CAM plants use PEP carboxylase to fix the carbon into malate, which is then stored until the next day, when the carbon is released and refixed in normal Calvin cycle metabolism.
Field validation of water-use efficiency of the
CAM plant Opuntia ellisiana in south Texas.
3] species, this
CAM plant is more drought tolerant and is able to make greater use of transient increases in light for carbon gain ([ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 3 OMITTED], Table 4).
Seasonal pools develop under many circumstances, but not all are suitable
CAM plant habitats (Keeley & Zedler, 1998).
Moreover, in leaves of
CAM plants, the dynamics of carbohydrates is essential.
CAM plants take up carbon dioxide at night and store it as malic acid that is decarboxylated the following day; the carbon dioxide released is then fixed using the [C.
Like the C4 plants,
CAM plants do not undergo photo-respiration.
3] plants,
CAM plants show little response to increasing C[O.
