Abstract: | Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.) Price is a constitutive CAM plant in the sporophytic phase of its life-cycle. Newly developed sporophytes, still attached to the gametophytes, showed signs of CAM expression in terms of diurnal changes in titratable acidity of the tissues. The gametophytes did not exhibit CAM. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
