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

Clara Groot Crego, Sarah Saadain, Marylaure de La Harpe, Jaqueline Hess, Michael H. J. Barfuss, Walter Till, Gert Bachmann, Wolfram Weckwerth, Christian Lexer, Ovidiu Paun

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