kalanchoe farinacea/carbohydrate

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F 2,6-P(2)) was detected in the CAM species, Ananas comosus and Bryophyllum tubiflorum, and in C(3)- and CAM-Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. In both Mesembryanthemum tissues, F 2,6-P(2) was located outside the chloroplast. The levels of F 2,6-P(2), malate, starch, or

Plants of Bryophyllum tubiflorum were held 12 days, plants of Sempervivum tectorum 11 and 23 days without water. Then, the contents of sugars and starch were determined. In Bryophyllum the quantity of monosaccharides decreased, that of oligosaccharides and of starch increased. In Sempervivum the

A haemagglutinating protein from the saline extracts of Kalanchoe crenata leaves, which agglutinate all human blood types, was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Cellulose column followed by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. The purified protein showed one

Malic acid isolated from Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lamk.) Oken (B. calycinum Salisb.), Bryophyllum tubiflorum Harv., Kalanchoë diagremontiana Hamet et Perrier and Sedum guatamalense Hemsl. after dark (14)CO(2) fixation was degraded by an in vitro NADP-malic enzyme technique. In the short term (5 to 30

Carbohydrates stored during deacidification in the light were examined in 11 Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species from widely separated taxa grown under uniform conditions. The hypothesis that NAD(P) malic enzyme CAM species store chloroplastic starch and glucans, and phosphoenolpyruvate
