C4-like Sesuvium sesuvioides (Aizoaceae) exhibits CAM in cotyledons and putative C4-like + CAM metabolism in adult leaves as revealed by transcriptome analysis
BackgroundThe co-occurrence of C 4 and CAM photosynthesis in a single species seems to be unusual and rare. This is likely due to the difficulty in...
