Journal ArticleDOI

A roadmap for research on crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to enhance sustainable food and bioenergy production in a hotter, drier world.

TL;DR: To exploit the potential of CAM crops and CAM bioengineering, it will be necessary to elucidate the evolution, genomic features, and regulatory mechanisms of CAM, which has potential for high returns on research investment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Kalanchoë genome provides insights into convergent evolution and building blocks of crassulacean acid metabolism

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for convergent evolution of protein sequence and temporal gene expression underpinning the multiple independent emergences of CAM through genomic analysis of Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Abiotic Stress-Responsive Transcription Factors: a Potential Genetic Engineering Approach for Improving Crop Tolerance to Abiotic Stress.

TL;DR: It is proposed that TF-based genetic engineering with a small number of CAM abiotic stress-responsive TFs will be a promising strategy for improving abiotics stress tolerance and WUE in crop plants in a projected hotter and drier landscape in the 21st-century and beyond.
