Hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon isotope ratios of cellulose from submerged aquatic crassulacean Acid metabolism and non-crassulacean Acid metabolism plants.

چکیده
Isotope ratios of cellulose and cellulose nitrate from aquatic Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and non-CAM plants were determined. Cellulose oxygen istope ratios for all plants that grew together were virtually identical, whereas large differences were observed for hydrogen isotope ratios of cellulose nitrate between CAM and non-CAM plants. Carbon isotope ratios of cellulose nitrate did not differentiate CAM from non-CAM plants.

Isotope ratios of cellulose from plants having different photosynthetic pathways.
Hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios of cellulose nitrate and oxygen isotope ratios of cellulose from C(3), C(4), and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants were determined for plants growing within a small area in Val Verde County, Texas. Plants having CAM had distinctly higher deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratios than plants having C(3) and C(4) metabolism. When hydrogen isotope ratios are plotte...
متن کاملVariation in the carbon isotope composition of a plant with crassulacean Acid metabolism.
The content of (13)C varies in plants with Crassulacean acid metabolism. Differences up to 3.5 per thousand in the (13)C/(12)C ratios were observed between leaves of different age in the same plant of Bryophyllum daigremontianum. Soluble and insoluble carbon in the same leaf differed up to 8 per thousand, the largest difference occurring in the leaves with the highest Crassulacean acid metaboli...
متن کاملOxygen and Hydrogen Isotope Ratios of Water from Photosynthetic Tissues of CAM and C(3) Plants.
Water samples from photosynthetic tissues of C(3) and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants that grew together in the field were extracted and the stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios determined. During the day, (18)O/(16)O and deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratios of water from CAM plants were lower than those observed in water from C(3) plants. The patterns of diurnal variation (or lack th...
متن کاملCrassulacean acid metabolism influences D/H ratio of leaf wax in succulent plants
This study sought to characterize hydrogen isotopic fractionation during biosynthesis of leaf wax nalkanes in succulent plants capable of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The metabolic and physiological features of CAM represent crucial strategies for survival in hot and dry climates and have been hypothesized to impact hydrogen isotope fractionation. We measured the stable carbon and hydrog...
متن کاملCarbon isotope ratios in crassulacean Acid metabolism plants: seasonal patterns from plants in natural stands.
A year round study of photosynthesis and carbon isotope fractionation was conducted with plants of Opuntia phaeacantha Engelm. and Yucca baccata Torr. occurring in natural stands at elevations of 525, 970, 1450 and 1900 m. Plant water potentials and the daytime pattern of (14)CO(2) photosynthesis were similar for all cacti along the elevational gradient, despite significant differences in tempe...
