              Drought Adaptation in Opuntia basilaris: Significance of Recycling Carbon through Crassulacean Acid Metabolism.

              Contrasting metabolic regimes operate in Opuntia basilaris Engelm. and Bigelov, before and after precipitation. During periods of drought, atmospheric CO(2) exchange and transpiration are greatly reduced throughout the day/night cycle by stomatal closure and a highly impervious cuticle. The hypothesis is that endogenously produced CO(2) is retained and recycled through dark CO(2) fixation, organic acid transformations, photosynthesis, and respiration. Immediately following precipitation, nighttime stomatal opening is initiated, permitting increased atmospheric CO(2) assimilation and organic acid synthesis.
