I am a student of biology in Muenster, Germany and the topic of my final thesis is physiological examinations of the Marama-bean (Tylosema esculentum)..
I am carrying out the examinations on the plant with the help of an equipment for gas-exchange-measuring in wholy-climatised measure chambers.
I'm interested in the gas-exchange (namely the CO2- and the H2O-exchange) under various conditions of light, temperature and humidity..
Because there exists only little literature about this plant I would be thankful for every information about the detailed circumstances of life, the ecology and especially the physiology of the Marama-bean.
Furthermore I would appreciate recommendations of literature and addresses of scientists who could be helpful for my further studies.
In advance I thank you for your efforts.
