Abstract:
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis maximizes water use efficiency relative to C3 and C4 photosynthesis, but its origin and evolution are poorly understood. Here we analyzed transcriptomes of numerous orchid species to compare carbon fixation pathway genes, and propose that CAM likely originated by modulating existing key genes.
