Crassulacean acid metaholism (CAM) was investigated in leaves and stems of the succulent $C_4$dicot Portulaca oleracea L. Under 14-hour days, stem tissues showed much greater fluctuation of acidity than leaf tissues. But leaf and stem tissues showed almost same CAM-like pattern of acid fluctuation under 8-hour days. Stem tissues of R oleracea grown under the naturai environment showed high CAM activity, but no CAM activity was seen in leaves of those plants. In the naturally growing plants, the rapid acidification was seen in intact stems at dawn, but defoliated stems showed only a gradual increase. RuBP carlboxylase activity was very high at 2:00 P.M. in both leaves and stems. However, its activity at 1:00 A.M. and 5:30 AM. was hardly detected. particularly, activity of PEP carboxylase in leaves was very high in the early morning, though that in stem tissues was little. These results indicate that $CO_2$ passed through open stomata at dawn may be assimilated by PEP carboxylase in leaves, and then $C_4$ products move to stems. The levels of nitrate concentration and of nitrate reductase were higher in stems than in leaves. The levels were also higher in the light than in the dark. It would be suggested that considerable amount of nitrate absorbed from roots ho assimilated in stems, and nitrate transferred to leaves via stem tissues be reduced there. Key words: Portalaca oleracea, Cactus, Photosynthesis, Nitrogen assimilation, Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).

The induction of crassulacean acid metabolism(CAM) characterized by day/night acid fluctuation was investigated in leaves from 10 days exposure to elevated $CO_2$ concentration(1,000 ${\mu}L\;L^{-1}CO_2).$ For Pereskia aculeata, have $C_3-like$ gas exchange pattern in well watered condition and shift into CAM-like in water stress, showed a more typical CAM-like diurnal acid fluctuation. Whereas the massive diurnal fluctuation of acidity in typical CAM of Kalanchoe rosea was declined. The effect of short-term exposure to various concentrations of $CO_2$ on titratable acidity in P. aculeata and K. rosea was also investigated. To investigate the response of various $CO_2$ concentrations, four different $CO_2$ levels(350, 700, 1,000 and 1,500 ${\mu}L\;L^{-1})$ were imposed for 24hr and measured the titratable acidity at 06:00, when the acidity was maximum, and 14:00, when the acidity was minimum. The accumulation of acid in P. aculeata was enhanced markedly by higher concentration of $CO_2,$ while the level of acidity in f rosea did not highly respond to $CO_2.$ A notable difference between P. aculeata and K. rosea was the response of de-acidification to a higher concentration of $CO_2$ Increasing with $CO_2,$ the degree of do-acidification of P. auleata was increased while that of K. rosea was depressed.

CAM 식물은 야간에 기공을 열어 CO₂를 흡수하는 식물로 환기하지 않는 야간에 시설 내 발생한 잉여 CO₂를 광합성에 이용할 수 있다. 게발선인장은 다화성으로, 엽상경 수가 많을수록 상품성이 높아진다. 본 연구는 게발선인장의 야간 CO₂ 시비 적용 가능성을 파악하기 위하여 생육 적정 환경인 생육상과 실제 농가의 환경에 따른 온실에서 엽상경별 광합성 특성을 조사하였다. 생육상 내 게발선인장 상위 엽상경은 주간에만 CO₂ 흡수를 하는 C₃ 특성을 보였으며, 2차 엽상경은 주/야간 모두 CO₂ 흡수를 하는 C₃-CAM 특성을 보였다. 온실에서 상위 엽상경은 CO₂ 흡수를 하지 않았으나, 2차 엽상경은 야간에 CO₂ 흡수를 하는 CAM 특성을 보였다. 생육상 내 게발선인장의 기공전도도와 수분이용효율은 온실 내 식물에 비하여 모든 엽상경에서 높은 값을 나타냈다. 게발선인장의 수분이용효율은 생육상과 온실에서 모두 CAM 특성이 나타나는 2차 엽상경에서 상위 엽상경에 비하여 높았다. 일일 총 CO₂ 흡수율은 온실 내 식물에 비하여 생육상 내 식물에서 더 높게 나타났으며, 생육상 내 게발선인장의 2차 엽상경에서 값이 155mmol·m^-2 ·d^-1로 가장 높았다. 게발선인장 '핑크듀'는 성숙한 엽상경에서 야간에 CO₂ 흡수가 활발히 일어나는 CAM 특성을 나타낸다. 다화성으로 시장성이 높은 게발선인장 '핑크듀'는 적정 환경과 성숙한 엽상경에서 효율적인 야간 탄소흡수가 가능한 식물이다.
