Short-Term Regulation of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Activity in a Tropical Hemiepiphyte, Clusia uvitana.

Abstract:

:Diel courses of net CO2 exchange of leaves were studied in Clusia uvitana (Clusiaceae), a tropical Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) hemiepiphyte, growing in the crown of a 47-m tall kapok tree on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Measurements on days without precipitation showed that net uptake of atmospheric CO2 occurred at night, a feature of CAM, as well as in the early morning and late afternoon. During 36 h of almost continuous rainfall, nocturnal net CO2 uptake was abolished and the diel pattern of net CO2 exchange became similar to that of a C3 plant. Exposing well-watered, potted plants of Clusia in the laboratory to temperatures and photosynthetic photon flux densities similar to those during the tropical rainstorm also abolished nocturnal net CO2 uptake. In contrast, Kalanchoe pinnata (Crassulaceae), an obligate CAM plant, still showed net CO2 dark fixation following the same low-light and moderate-temperature conditions, albeit at decreased rates. During these 12-h photoperiods, titratable acidity in Clusia increased slightly above its high level measured at the end of the previous dark period, whereas in Kalanchoe, the acid content decreased by about 40%. A survey among outer canopy leaves of Clusia on Barro Colorado Island showed that leaves that exhibited little or no nocturnal acidification maintained high levels of H+ at dawn and dusk. Progressively lower levels of H+ at dusk were accompanied by progressively higher nocturnal increases in H+. The data suggest that in C. uvitana the rapid switching between CAM- and C3-type carbon fixation that may occur within 24 h in response to environmental changes is controlled by the acidity status of the leaves in the light. Nocturnal CO2 fixation is enhanced by conditions that decrease the organic acid content during the light period.
