abstract = {This study reports evidence that the timing of leaf growth
responds to developmental and environmental constraints in
Clusia spp. We monitored diel patterns of leaf growth in the
facultative C(3)-crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species
Clusia minor and in the supposedly obligate CAM species
Clusia alata using imaging methods and followed diel
patterns of CO2 exchange and acidification. Developing
leaves of well-watered C. minor showed a C3-like diel
pattern of gas exchange and growth, with maximum relative
growth rate (RGR) in the early night period. Growth slowed
when water was withheld, accompanied by nocturnal CO2
exchange and the diel acid change characteristic of CAM.
Maximum leaf RGR shifted from early night to early in the
day when water was withheld. In well-watered C. alata,
similar changes in the diel pattern of leaf growth occurred
with the development of CAM during leaf ontogeny. We
hypothesize that the shift in leaf growth cycle that
accompanies the switch from C3 photosynthesis to CAM is
mainly caused by the primary demand of CAM for substrates
for nocturnal CO2 fixation and acid synthesis, thus reducing
the availability of carbohydrates for leaf growth at night.
Although the shift to leaf growth early in the light is
presumably associated with the availability of
carbohydrates, source-sink relationships and sustained
diurnal acid levels in young leaves of Clusia spp. need
further evaluation in relation to growth processes.},
