Crassulacean acid metabolism: a continuous or discrete trait?

The New phytologist - 1 Oct 2015

Winter Klaus, Holtum Joseph A M, Smith J Andrew C

Abstract excerpt

The key components of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) - nocturnal fixation of atmospheric CO2 and its processing via Rubisco in the subsequent light period - are now reasonably well understood in terms of the biochemical reactions defining this water-saving mode of carbon assimilation. Phenotypically, however, the degree to which plants engage in the CAM cycle relative to regular C3 photosynthesis is highly...
