Occurrence of Crassulaceaen Acid Metabolism in leaves of Aristolochia bracteata Ritz

Aristolochia bracteata Ritz. is a common weed of fallowlands of hot, semi-arid region of Baramati area. High succulence index was noticed in leaf tissues along with marked diurnal fluctuations in tritratable acidity status, and pH of leaf sap. Stomatal behavior also followed typical CAM pattern.

Description
Summary:Aristolochia bracteata Ritz. is a common weed of fallowlands of hot, semi-arid region of Baramati area. High succulence index was noticed in leaf tissues along with marked diurnal fluctuations in tritratable acidity status, and pH of leaf sap. Stomatal behavior also followed typical CAM pattern. All these findings conclude that Crassulacean Acid Metabolism is in operation in this species
