On May 20th Prof Veronica Maurino visited us at LMU for a Botany Seminar on NAD(P)-ME molecular evolution and it was awesome! Thank you for accepting my invitation 😁🙏

New paper on C4-CAM plants and using Portulaca as a model to study it 🌱 awesome collab with Ivan Reyna-Llorens! doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
Open questions on facultative C4-CAM photosynthesis in Portulaca
Abstract. Plants have evolved carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to optimize carbon fixation under environmental conditions that increase photorespirat

A lot of C4 and CAM in our seminar and practical course this year. Together with Thibaud Messerschmid, I had a great time discussing CCM evolution and physiology 🥳🌵🌿

CAM #photosynthesis discovered for the first time in a carnivorous plant
Scientists from @SNSB and @lmumuenchen.bsky.social have found out in experiments with Pinguicula (butterworts).

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae).

Former lab member @njorisfleck.bsky.social and colleagues just showed that some carnivorous plants do CAM photosynthesis! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

"Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant" super happy to have been part of this work with @njorisfleck.bsky.social Prof Gudrun Kadereit, Andreas Fleischmann and Thibaud Messerschmid! I hope it's the first of many at LMU 👏😁🌵🎶
