Divergent transcriptional architectures beyond core CAM genes in facultative and constitutive CAM species in Tillandsia

C. Groot-Crego, S. Saadain, M. de La Harpe, J. Hess, M. H. J. Barfuss, W. Till, G. Bachmann, W. Weckwerth, C. Lexer, O. Paun

The paper compares transcriptional architectures of CAM in two Tillandsia species, finding divergent gene expression patterns despite shared core CAM genes.
