Abstract

Generation of carbon skeletons for amino acid synthesis in some C₃ plants resembles fluxes needed for CAM-type photosynthesis.

Figures

**Figure 1.**
Daytime metabolism of organic acids in C₃ and CAM plants; arrow thickness denotes flux. A, Organic acids are directly derived from photosynthesis during the day. This model is obsolete for many C₃ species due to the results of flux analyses. B, In many C₃ plants, the use of organic acids is based on organic acids produced and stored during the night according to flux analyses. C, Daytime metabolism of organic acids in CAM plants. 2-OG, Oxoglutarate; CBBc, Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle; CHOs, carbohydrates; OAA, oxaloacetate; Pyr, pyruvate; TP, triosephosphate.

**Figure 2.**
Nighttime metabolism of organic acids in C₃ (A) and CAM (B) plants. AcCoA, Acetyl coenzyme A; CHOs, carbohydrates; OAA, oxaloacetate; PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; Pyr, pyruvate.
