A positive correlation between tissue thickness and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) expression has been frequently suggested. Therefore, this study addressed the question of whether water availability modulates photosynthetic plasticity in different organs two epiphytic orchids with distinct leaf thickness. Tissue morphology mode (C3 and/or CAM) were examined leaves, pseudobulbs roots a thick-leaved (Cattleya walkeriana) thin-leaved (Oncidium 'Aloha') orchid. Morphological features...
Guzmania monostachia is an epiphytic tank bromeliad that displays the inducible CAM photosynthesis under stressful conditions and had highest stomata density in leaf apex, while base portion has of trichomes, which are specialized structures used to acquire water nutrients from solution. In order correlate genetic factors behind these morpho-physiological characteristics along blade G. monostachia, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed identify functional enriched pathways...
Vriesea gigantea Gaudichaud is an epiphytic bromeliad with a high capacity to take up urea. In plants, urea hydrolyzed by urease into ammonium and CO2, providing nitrogen the plant. Most studies of nutrition have focused only on metabolism, whereas scarce attention has been given CO2 assimilation. Therefore, this study attempted investigate whether could play important role as carbon source, which be significant importance under water deficit conditions because limitation in atmospheric...
Se compara la producción de á-amilasa termoestable a partir almidón, empleando una cepa autóctona Thermus sp ., en cultivo discontinuo con células libres e inmovilizadas 3% p/v alginato sodio. La se llevó cabo medio PAP2 modificado por adición almidón maíz 3.024g/l. Los resultados obtenidos el fermentador, reportaron mayor eficiencia debido configuración geométrica; concentración fuente carbono, oxigenación y temperatura; lo que permite mejor aprovechamiento del sustrato. máxima alpha...
