Optional use of CAM photosynthesis in two C4 species, Portulaca cyclophylla and Portulaca digyna.
Low levels of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are demonstrated in two species with C4 photosynthesis, Portulaca cyclophylla and P. digyna. The expression of CAM in P. cyclophylla and P. digyna is facultative, i.e. optional. Well-watered plants did not accumulate acid at night and exhibited gas-exchange patterns consistent with C4 photosynthesis. CAM-type nocturnal acidification was reversibl...
متن کاملThe Anatomy and Morphology Cushion Species Tasmanian
A study of the anatomy and morphology of four Tasmanian cushion plant showed that anatomical convergence was not as well developed as the obviolls morphological convergence. The of well-developed xeromorphic features in the Tasmanian species is not consistent with the hypothesis previollsly suggesrcd that the cilshion fonn evolved plimarily as a strategy to maintain a positive water balance.

متن کاملImperfect replacement of native species by non-native species as pollinators of endemic Hawaiian plants.
Native plant species that have lost their mutualist partners may require non-native pollinators or seed dispersers to maintain reproduction. When natives are highly specialized, however, it appears doubtful that introduced generalists will partner effectively with them. We used visitation observations and pollination treatments (experimental manipulations of pollen transfer) to examine relation...
متن کاملWood Anatomy of Hawaiian and New Guinean Species of Tetramolopium ( Asteraceae ) : Ecological and Systematic Aspects
Qualitative and quantitative features are reported for five Hawaiian and one New Guinean species of Tetramolopium. Tetramolopium humile differs from the other Hawaiian species in its numerous narrow vessels, numerous vasicentric tracheids, and wide rays. Although these features are adaptive in the dry alpine localities of T. humile, they would be adaptive also in the remaining species, which ar...
