Crassulacean Acid Metabolism 1975–2000, a Check List

By O. H. Sayed. Photosynthetica (Praha), 2001

119 citations recorded by the source corpus.

A list of plant species documented over the past 25 years to exhibit Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) is presented. The list compiles all available information on these species including their growth habits, succulent parts, carbon isotope discrimination values, CAM types, CAM inducers, and CAM modifications.

• Monographs of invasive plants in Europe: Carpobrotus (2018, background): “CAM photosynthesis results in a higher water use efficiency by uptaking CO2 through stomata at night, thus reducing water loss through transpiration and maximizing the rate of carbon assimilation to the rate of transpiration (Sayed 2001).”
• The Ecological Water-Use Strategies of Succulent Plants (2010, background): “There is no question that CAM and pronounced succulence are highly correlated (Sayed, 2001).”
• Green roofs for hot and dry climates: Interacting effects of plant water use, succulence and substrate (2012, background): “CAM plants have greater water use efficiency than C3 plants as transpiration per unit CO2 fixed is reduced due to stomata opening at night for CO2 uptake (Sayed, 2001).”
• Effect of Watering Regimen on Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Growth of Selected Green Roof Plant Taxa (2006, background): “Additionally, many succulents such as Sedum spp. have the capacity to store greater amounts of water in their fleshy leaves (Sayed, 2001).”
• Plant communities on ironstone outcrops: a diverse and endangered Brazilian ecosystem (2007, background): “(Sayed 2001), which are epiphytes in rainforests and epilithic on canga outcrops.”
• Effect of Substrate Depth on Initial Growth, Coverage, and Survival of 25 Succulent Green Roof Plant Taxa (2007, background): “Some have been documented to exhibit Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), a metabolic pathway that enables them to adapt to water-stressed environmental conditions (Gebauer, 1988; Sayed, 2001; Ting, 1985).”
