Seasonal influences on carbohydrate metabolism in the CAM bromeliad Aechmea 'Maya': consequences for carbohydrate partitioning and growth.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Photosynthetic plasticity in response to a range of environmental factors that include [CO(2)], water availability, light intensity and temperature, is ubiquitous among plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The present study examined how seasonal changes in light availability, as

Differential usage of storage carbohydrates in the CAM bromeliad Aechmea 'Maya' during acclimation to drought and recovery from dehydration.

Only registered users can translate articles

CAM requires a substantial investment of resources into storage carbohydrates to account for nocturnal CO(2) uptake, thereby restricting carbohydrate partitioning to other metabolic activities, including dark respiration, growth and acclimation to abiotic stress. Flexible modulation of carbon flow

Changes in carbohydrate and nutrient contents throughout a reproductive cycle indicate that phosphorus is a limiting nutrient in the epiphytic bromeliad, Werauhia sanguinolenta.

OBJECTIVE This study examined the physiological basis of the cost of reproduction in the epiphytic bromeliad Werauhia sanguinolenta, growing in situ in a tropical lowland forest in Panama. METHODS Entire mature plants were sampled repeatedly over the course of 2 years, which represents the common

Diel shifts in carboxylation pathway and metabolite dynamics in the CAM bromeliad Aechmea 'Maya' in response to elevated CO2.

OBJECTIVE The deployment of temporally separated carboxylation pathways for net CO(2) uptake in CAM plants provides plasticity and thus uncertainty on how species with this photosynthetic pathway will respond to life in a higher-CO(2) world. The present study examined how long-term exposure to

Water stress and light intensity effects on growth and nocturnal acid accumulation in a terrestrial CAM bromeliad (Bromelia humilis Jacq.) under natural conditions.

Seasonal variations in CAM performance of sunexposed and partially shaded populations of Bromelia humilis were measured under natural conditions in a semi-arid region in northern Venezuela. The sun population consisted of smaller plants, with lower chlorophyll and total nitrogen contents per unit

This paper originates from a presentation at the IIIrd International Congress on Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia, August 2001. In Ananas comosus L. (Merr.) (pineapple), a widely cultivated bromeliad that exhibits crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), much of the

Correlation between citric acid and nitrate metabolisms during CAM cycle in the atmospheric bromeliad Tillandsia pohliana.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) confers crucial adaptations for plants living under frequent environmental stresses. A wide metabolic plasticity can be found among CAM species regarding the type of storage carbohydrate, organic acid accumulated at night and decarboxylating system. Consequently,

The contribution of weak CAM to the photosynthetic metabolic activities of a bromeliad species under water deficit.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) can be a transitory strategy for saving water during unfavourable conditions, like a dry season. In some cases, CAM can also contribute to the maintenance of photosynthetic integrity, even if carbon gain and growth are impaired. CAM occurs in different

Glucuronoarabinoxylan structure in the walls of Aechmea leaf chlorenchyma cells is related to wall strength.

Only registered users can translate articles

In CAM-plants rising levels of malic acid in the early morning cause elevated turgor pressures in leaf chlorenchyma cells. Under specific conditions this process is lethal for sensitive plants resulting in chlorenchyma cell burst while other species can cope with these high pressures and do not show

Light quality modulates metabolic synchronization over the diel phases of crassulacean acid metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Temporal compartmentation of carboxylation processes is a defining feature of crassulacean acid metabolism and involves circadian control of key metabolic and transport steps that regulate the supply and demand for carbon over a 24h cycle. Recent insights on the molecular workings of the circadian

Genomic footprints of repeated evolution of CAM photosynthesis in a Neotropical species radiation

Only registered users can translate articles

The adaptive radiation of Bromeliaceae (pineapple family) is one of the most diverse among Neotropical flowering plants. Diversification in this group was facilitated by shifts in several adaptive traits or "key innovations" including the transition from C₃ to CAM photosynthesis

Crassulacean acid metabolism under severe light limitation: a matter of plasticity in the shadows?

Only registered users can translate articles

Despite the increased energetic costs of CAM compared with C(3) photosynthesis, it is hypothesized that the inherent photosynthetic plasticity of CAM allows successful acclimation to light-limiting conditions. The present work sought to determine if CAM presented any constraints to short and longer
