Crassulacean Acid Metabolism May Alleviate Production of Reactive Oxygen Species in a Facultative CAM Plant, the Common Ice Plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.

Crassulacean Acid Metabolism May Alleviate Production of Reactive Oxygen Species in a Facultative CAM Plant, the Common Ice Plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.

We examined the function of CAM in reactive oxygen species (ROS) alleviation using a newly isolated CAM-deficient mutant of a facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. Salt-stress (0.4 M NaCl) induced nocturnal malate synthesis in the leaves of the wild-type plant, but not in the mutant...
