Our severe dependence on fossil resources for the production of fuels and chemicals is
responsible for two major global challenges: declining the fuel supply and increasing the …

In the recent techno-scientific revolution, nanotechnology has gained popularity at a rapid
pace in different sectors and disciplines, specifically environmental, sensing, bioenergy, and …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized mode of photosynthesis that features
nocturnal CO 2 uptake, facilitates increased water‐use efficiency (WUE), and enables CAM …

Solar energy installations in arid and semi-arid regions are rapidly increasing due to
technological advances and policy support. Although solar energy provides several benefits …

Climatic extremes threaten agricultural sustainability worldwide. One approach to increase
plant water-use efficiency (WUE) is to introduce crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) into C …

Although leaves have to accommodate markedly different metabolic flux patterns in the light
and the dark, models of leaf metabolism based on flux-balance analysis (FBA) have so far …

Sustainable production of lignocellulosic biofuels requires a sufficient supply of biomass
feedstocks. Agave and Opuntia represent highly water-use efficient bioenergy crops that are …

Global climate change is predicted to increase heat, drought, and soil-drying conditions, and
thereby increase crop sensitivity to water vapour pressure deficit, resulting in productivity …

Tissue succulence in plants involves the storage of water in one or more organs or tissues to
assist in maintaining water potentials on daily or seasonal time scales. This drought …

There is considerable interest in transferring crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to C3
crops to improve their water-use efficiency. However, because the CAM biochemical cycle is …
