Evolutionary success in arid habitats: Morpho-anatomy of succulent leaves of Crassula species from southern Africa
Succulence is widely interpreted as an adaptation to drought, usually associated with CAM and xeromorphic features among arid-adapted plants. However, this syndrome can also be observed in species typical of mesic and even hydric environments. The leaf-succulent genus Crassula (Crassulaceae) occurs in contrasting habitats in all nine biomes of southern...Fradera-Soler, Marc ; Rudall, Paula J. ; Prychid, Christina J. ; Grace, Olwen M.

Elastic and collapsible: current understanding of cell walls in succulent plants.
Succulent plants represent a large functional group of drought-resistant plants which store water in specialized tissues. Several co-adaptive traits accompany water-storage capacity to constitute the succulent syndrome. A widely reported anatomical adaptation of cell walls in succulent tissues allows them to fold in a regular fashion during extended drought, thus... -
