Project description:More than 200 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt documented his first observations of a peculiar phenomenon in Clusia rosea (Clusiaceae), the first tree known to perform crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Since then, the photosynthetic and ecophysiological plasticity of Clusia species have captivated the minds of plant scientists worldwide. CAM is a physiological adaptation to low water availability. While stomata are closed during the day, RuBisCO is supplied with CO2 via decarboxylation of organic acids that have been stored and synthesized during the night by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPC). How the physiological reprogramming necessary for CAM evolved remains enigmatic. Photosynthetic physiotypes of CAM, including weak CAM, inducible CAM, and CAM-cycling have additionally fueled a debate on the evolutionary constraints of CAM and the prospects of engineering CAM into C3 crops. Here, we de novo sequenced the genomes of three Clusia species to capture genetic snapshots along an evo-ecophysiological continuum from weak over inducible to strong CAM. Through a combination of chromosome level assembly and annotation, comparative multiomics, and physiological phenotyping, we identify a strong association between diploidization of polyploids and the physiotype diversity of CAM. We illustrate that Clusia major, a plant that seems to exhibits a C3-type mode of photosynthesis, retained almost all hallmarks of CAM. Transposon-mediated genic diploidization, however, acted upon homoeologs in CAM-related gene families, particularly those involved in phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) recycling via phosphorolytic leaf starch metabolization. In effect, this rendered a plant capable of C3+CAM with open stomata during the day by shifting carbohydrate supply (PEP) to viable soluble sugars. Our findings indicate that polyploidization during genus evolution and subsequent diploidization shaped the emergence of extant physiotypes in Clusia.

Here, we de novo sequenced the genomes of three Clusia species to capture genetic snapshots along an evo-ecophysiological continuum from weak over inducible to strong CAM. Through a combination of phased chromosome level assembly and annotation, comparative multiomics, and physiological experiments, we demonstrate that diploidization of polyploids explains the physiotype diversity of CAM. We illustrate that Clusia major, a plant that exhibits a C3-type mode of photosynthesis, retained almost all hallmarks of CAM. Transposon-mediated genic diploidization, however, acted upon homoeologs in CAM-related gene families, preferentially those involved in phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) recycling via phosphorolytic leaf starch metabolization. In effect this rendered a plant capable of constitutive C3+CAM with open stomata during the day by shifting carbohydrate supply (PEP) to viable soluble sugars. Our findings indicate that polyploidization during genus evolution and subsequent diploidization shaped the emergence of extant C3+CAM physiotypes in Clusia. This study of evolutionary intermediates provides crucial insights into the convergent evolution of physiotype diversity and plasticity of CAM.
