Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) is a highly water-efficient form of photosynthesis where plants absorb carbon dioxide at night to minimize daytime evaporation. Recent genomic analysis of the tropical tree genus Clusia reveals that the extraordinary diversity of its CAM traits evolved through ancient genome duplications followed by millions of years of genetic restructuring. #Genomics #EvolutionaryBiology #Botany #MolecularBiology #sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2026/05/geno05052601.html
