The Cissus quadrangularis genome reveals its adaptive features in an arid habitat

Cissus quadrangularis is a tetraploid species belonging to the Vitaceae family and is known for the Crassulacean acid metabolism(CAM)pathway in the succulent stem,while the leaves perform C3 photosynthesis.Here,we report a high-quality genome of C.quadrangularis comprising a total size of 679.2 Mb which was phased into two subgenomes.Genome annotation identified 51857 protein-coding genes,while approximately 47.75%of the genome was composed of repetitive sequences.Gene expression ratios of two subgenomes demonstrated that the sub-A genome as the dominant subgenome played a vital role during the drought tolerance.Genome divergence analysis suggests that the tetraploidization event occurred around 8.9 million years ago.Transcriptome data revealed that pathways related to cutin,suberine,and wax metabolism were enriched in the stem during drought treatment,suggesting that these genes contributed to the drought adaption.Additionally,a subset of CAM-related genes displayed diurnal expression patterns in the succulent stems but not in leaves,indicating that stem-biased expression of existing genes contributed to the CAM evolution.Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms of drought adaptation and photosynthesis transition in plants.
