Metabolic Modeling of the C3-CAM Continuum Revealed the Establishment of a Starch/Sugar-Malate Cycle in CAM Evolution

The evolution of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is thought to be along a C3-CAM continuum including multiple variations of CAM such as CAM cycling and CAM idling. Here, we applied large-scale constraint-based modeling to investigate the metabolism and energetics of plants operating in C3, CAM, C...
