✦ Synopsis

Measurements of carbon isotope ratios of central Mexican Crassulaceae collected over a broad habitat range show consistent patterns of CAM activity with no indications of substantial flexible photosynthetic pathways between C and CAM. The three genera studied - Echeveria, Pachyphytum, and Graptopetalum - are all closely related to Dudleya in which considerable flexible metabolic response has been demonstrated. Comparative measurements of carbon isotope ratios for field collected and greenhouse reared samples of the same taxa showed a uniform occurrence of slightly more negative Ξ΄ C values, but no indication of substantial flexible metabolic response.

Optimized control strategies for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) enrichment of greenhouse tomato crops using CO 2 from the exhaust gases of boilers burning natural gas are presented. In one group of strategies, the heat produced during CO 2 generation which exceeds the immediate heat requirement of the green
