Exploiting the potential of plants with crassulacean acid metabolism for bioenergy production on marginal lands.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation that facilitates the uptake of CO(2) at night and thereby optimizes the water-use efficiency of carbon assimilation in plants growing in arid habitats. A number of CAM species have been exploited agronomically in marginal habitats, di...
