The metabolic and morphological features of CAM that contribute towards high biomass production in water-limited environments are highlighted and recent progress in developing genetic models for CAM are outlined and discussed in light of the need to achieve a systems-level understanding.

The cloning of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase from the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism plant Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi and the C3 plant Arabidopsis thaliana is reported, which appears to be the smallest known protein kinase.

DF provides a simple clock output that may allow the clock to be assayed in vivo in any photosynthetic organism and provides direct evidence that the nucleus-encoded, three-loop circadian oscillator underlies rhythms of PSII activity in the chloroplast.
Higher plant phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase is regulated at the level of translatable mRNA in response to light or a circadian rhythm

It is demonstrated that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase activity is regulated at the level of translatable mRNA in C3, C4 and CAM plants.
Conservation and Divergence of Circadian Clock Operation in a Stress-Inducible Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Species Reveals Clock Compensation against Stress1

The transcript abundance of the clock-associated genes in M. crystallinum is largely unaffected by development and salt stress, revealing compensation of the central circadian clock against development and abiotic stress in addition to the well-known temperature compensation.
The Kalanchoë genome provides insights into convergent evolution and building blocks of crassulacean acid metabolism

Circadian control of isoprene emissions from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis).
- Michael J. Wilkinson, S. Owen, C. Nicholas Hewitt
- Environmental ScienceThe Plant Journal
- 1 September 2006
It is shown that isoprene emissions from a tropical tree (oil palm, Elaeis guineensis) are under strong circadian control, and that the circadian clock is potentially able to gate light-induced isopren emissions.
Distinct patterns of control and expression amongst members of the PEP carboxylase kinase gene family in C4 plants.

- 1 October 2006
Analysis of the complexity of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PPCK) gene family in the C(4) monocots maize and sorghum suggests that a main function of the ZmP PCK2 gene product is to allow PEPC to function anaplerotically in bundle sheath cells in the dark without interfering with the C (4) cycle.
