Effects of chilling on the photosynthetic performance of the CAM orchid Phalaenopsis

IntroductionCrassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is one of the three main metabolic adaptations for CO2 fixation found in plants. A striking feature for these plants is nocturnal carbon fixation and diurnal decarboxylation of malic acid to feed Rubisco with CO2 behind closed stomata, thereby saving co...
