Diel rewiring and positive selection of ancient plant proteins enabled evolution of CAM photosynthesis in Agave

Abstract Background Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) enhances plant water-use efficiency through an inverse day/night pattern of stomatal closure/opening that facilitates nocturnal CO2 uptake. CAM has evolved independently in over 35 plant lineages, accounting for ~ 6% of all higher plants. Agave...
