英文摘要 | When plants of the Atacama desert undergo episodic blooms, among the most prominent are succulent-leaved Cistanthe (Montiaceae). We demonstrate that two Cistanthe species, the perennial Cistanthe sp. aff. crassifolia and the annual/biannual Cistanthe sp. aff. longiscapa, can exhibit net CO2 uptake and leaf acidification patterns typical of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). In C. sp. aff. crassifolia leaves, CAM expression was facultative. CAM-type nocturnal net CO2 uptake and acid accumulation occurred in drought-stressed but not in well-watered plants. By contrast, CAM expression in C. sp. aff. longiscapa was largely constitutive. Nocturnal acid accumulation was present in leaves of well-watered and in droughted plants. Following water-deficit stress, net nocturnal CO2 uptake was induced and the level of acid accumulated increased. Neither nocturnal CO2 uptake nor acid accumulation was reduced when the plants were re-watered. delta C-13 values of a further nine field-collected Cistanthe species are consistent with a contribution of CAM to their carbon pools. In the Portulacinae, a suborder with eight CAM-containing families, Cistanthe becomes the sixth genus with CAM within the family Montiaceae, and it is likely that the ancestor of all Portulacineae also possessed CAM photosynthesis. In the stochastic rainfall landscape of the Atacama, carbon uptake in the dark is a water-use efficient mechanism that increases the carbon pool available for seed production or dormancy. The next rain event may be years away. |
