This project investigates how Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, like Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi, optimize carbon uptake and growth by managing starch reserves through their internal circadian clock. It aims to enhance drought resistance in crops and explore CAM species as potential bioenergy feedstocks.
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation to arid environments where water-use efficiency and biomass productivity is optimized by taking up CO2 at night when evapo-transpiration rates are low.
These desirable traits hinge on effective temporal coordination of the metabolic processes that determine the supply and demand for carbon over the day/night cycle.
Data from the host lab has indicated that; a) starch availability is a key determinant of the amount of CO2 taken up…
