[Discovery of NaCl induced crassulacean acid metabolism in a second member of the Aizoaceae family: Carpobrotus edulis].
Carpobrotus edulis grown for 24 days in nutrient solution plus 400 mM of NaCl shows the typical CO2 gas exchange reactions observed in CAM plants. Control plants grown in nutrient solution alone exhibit CO2 gas exchange reactions typical for C3 plants.
