Abstract excerpt
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive. Whereas the same core CAM (de)carboxylation genes are consistently involved, a key...
