Clusia species exhibit diverse photosynthetic physiotypes. The authors present genome assemblies for C. major (weak CAM), C. minor s.l. (facultative CAM), and C. rosea (strong CAM), and speculate that polyploidization and subsequent diploidization could have shaped the emergence of extant C3 + CAM physiotypes.
