Hypothetical model of daytime metabolite fluxes in starch-storing CAM species such as Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, K. pinnata and S. spectabile (based on Silvera et al., 2010; Holtum et al., 2005). Dotted arrows represent multiple steps. Free sedoheptulose formation under elevated CO2 in K. pinnata is indicated and originates from the action of a sedoheptulose-7-phosphate phosphatase acting on the oxPPP intermediate sedoheptulose-7-phosphate. A negative feedback control by ADP and Pi is proposed, contributing to both C and P homeostasis. Glc6P, glucose-6-phosphate; PGA, 3-phosphoglycerate; PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; Pyr, pyruvate; Sedo, sedoheptulose; Sedo-7-P, sedoheptulose-7-phosphate; Suc, sucrose; TP, triose phosphate.
