Timing of gene expression and recruitment in independent origins of CAM in the Agavoideae (Asparagaceae).

K. Heyduk, E. McAssey, J. Leebens-Mack

The paper compares gene expression and molecular evolution of CAM-related genes across three independent CAM origins in Agavoideae, finding conserved time-of-day profiles but lineage-specific drought responses and novel PPC2 recruitment.

Leaf anatomy is not correlated to CAM function in a C3+CAM hybrid species, Yucca gloriosa

K. Heyduk, J. N. Ray, J. Leebens-Mack

The study examines CAM function and leaf anatomy in Yucca gloriosa, finding no correlation between the two traits within the species, suggesting CAM evolution can involve diverse trait combinations.
