Updating the occurrence of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in the genus Clusia through carbon isotope analysis of species from Colombia

P. Pachon et al.

Summary: Clusia is a widely distributed neotropical genus with 321 species. It is the only known genus that contains trees with CAM photosynthesis. In this study, the leaf carbon isotope composition of 568 specimens from 114 Clusia species in Colombia was analyzed. Most specimens showed values indicating C-3 photosynthesis as the main contributor to carbon gain. Only five species exhibited typical strong CAM values, four of which were observed for the first time. Samples with CAM isotopic signatures were collected below 1,000m, while predominantly C-3 species occurred from sea level to 3,500m. Combined with existing literature, it is concluded that 22% of the investigated Clusia species have CAM photosynthesis.

Modelling nonlinear dynamics of Crassulacean acid metabolism productivity and water use for global predictions

Samantha Hartzell et al.

Summary: This study builds on recent advances in CAM modelling to provide a framework for estimating CAM biomass yield and water use efficiency. By integrating the CAM circadian rhythm with established models of carbon fixation, stomatal conductance and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, along with models of light attenuation, plant respiration and biomass partitioning, it may improve the accuracy of estimating CAM productivity under light-limiting conditions.

Five-year field trial of the biomass productivity and water input response of cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) as a bioenergy feedstock for arid lands

Dhurba Neupane et al.

Summary: Climate-resilient and highly water-use efficient crops are essential to meet the future demands for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) has shown high productivity and the ability to thrive with significantly less water than traditional crops. A long-term field trial in the United States evaluated the biomass productivity and water response of different Opuntia species under varying irrigation levels, showing an increase in biomass production with higher irrigation rates and no significant differences among the Opuntia species tested.

Metabolic Modeling of the C3-CAM Continuum Revealed the Establishment of a Starch/Sugar-Malate Cycle in CAM Evolution

Ignacius Y. Y. Tay et al.

Summary: This study used constraint-based modeling to investigate the metabolism and energetics of plants operating in C-3, CAM, CAM cycling, and CAM idling. The results suggested that CAM cycling and CAM idling could be potential evolutionary intermediates in CAM evolution, supporting the notion that evolution of CAM from C-3 could occur solely through incremental changes in metabolic fluxes. The modeling also predicted changes in metabolic fluxes along a C-3-CAM continuum, including the involvement of various metabolic processes such as the starch/sugar-malate cycle and mitochondrial electron transport chain.

Quaternary diversification of a columnar cactus in the driest place on earth

Felix F. Merklinger et al.

Summary: The cactus family is predominantly found in the New World, with the genus Eulychnia endemic to the Atacama and Peruvian Deserts. Through molecular dating, it was discovered that Eulychnia split from Austrocactus in the late Miocene and diversified in the early Quaternary, originating in coastal regions and colonizing inland areas multiple times. The Pleistocene diversification of Eulychnia coincided with periods of hyperaridity and pluvial phases, leading to habitat fragmentation and speciation with the current allopatric distribution of taxa.

The genetic control of succulent leaf development

Karolina Heyduk

Summary: Research on succulent leaves has focused on defining succulence, understanding its evolutionary trajectory and ecological implications, but there is still limited understanding of the molecular regulation of leaf succulence. Studies show that regulation of cell size, determination of vascular patterning, and water transport between cells have direct implications for understanding leaf succulence. Connecting functional genomics of leaf patterning with knowledge of the evolution and ecology of succulent species will guide future research on leaf succulence determination and maintenance.

Evolutionary success in arid habitats: Morpho-anatomy of succulent leaves of Crassula species from southern Africa

Marc Fradera-Soler et al.

Summary: Succulence is commonly seen as an adaptation to drought, but it can also be observed in plants typical of mesic and even hydric environments. A study on Crassula species in southern Africa found that water content is consistent regardless of habitat, while leaf morpho-anatomical traits are linked to macroclimatic conditions. The differences in mesophyll traits in Crassula may be related to water storage and CAM performance, while leaf surface properties are more associated with water conservation and possibly water uptake through hydathodes.

Leaf Water Storage and Robustness to Intermittent Drought: A Spatially Explicit Capacitive Model for Leaf Hydraulics

Yongtian Luo et al.

Summary: Leaf hydraulic networks play a crucial role in maintaining whole-plant water status through spatial variation of water potential and hydraulic resistance, with leaf capacitance of water storage being essential. A spatially explicit, capacitive model captures local spatiotemporal changes in water potential and flow rate, demonstrating the importance of considering spatial variation of leaf hydraulic traits in plant biology. Time scales of changes under water stress are affected by leaf capacitance, resistances to capacitors, and stomatal resistance.

Comparative ecophysiology of the leaf-succulents Augea capensis (C3) and Malephora purpureo-crocea (CAM) in the Knersvlakte, Succulent Karoo, South Africa

Maik Veste et al.

Summary: Comparative studies on C3 and CAM succulents in a desert region of South Africa found that under identical conditions, C3 plants had higher carbon gain compared to CAM plants, while their maximum photosynthetic activity was similar. The differences in response dynamics to irrigation were attributed to variations in rooting depth, morphology, and water acquisition strategy between the two plant types.

Carbon isotope composition of plant photosynthetic tissues reflects a Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) continuum in the majority of CAM lineages

Thibaud F. E. Messerschmid et al.

Summary: The stable carbon isotope composition, expressed as delta C-13, in plant tissues provides valuable information about photosynthetic pathways. CAM plants utilize a more efficient form of photosynthesis compared to C-3 plants, resulting in less negative delta C-13 values. While past studies have shown bimodal distribution in CAM plant lineages, some exceptions exist. The continuum between CAM and C-3 photosynthesis cautioned against the usage of a delta C-13 threshold in macroevolutionary studies, urging for lineage-specific reconstructions rather than a unifying model of CAM evolution.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) supersedes the turgor loss point (TLP) as an important adaptation across a precipitation gradient, in the genus Clusia

Alistair Leverett et al.

Summary: This study found that CAM, TLP psi, and hydrenchyma depth are independent traits in Clusia. Constitutive CAM is an adaptation to year-long water deficits, while facultative CAM is more important for surviving acute dry seasons. Other leaf traits did not correlate with environmental precipitation, indicating that reduced transpirational rates associated with CAM eliminate the need to adapt the TLP psi and hydrenchyma depth in this genus.
