Author contributions
H.P.X. and Q.F.W. initiated the study of Cissus rotundifoliagenome sequencing project. H.P.X, Y.W., Q.Y.L and T.W. are joint first
authors. D.K.G and Z.F.Z confirmed the genome size and chromosome
numbers with help of B.L. D.K.G and H.M.Z. isolated DNA. Y.W. and Q.Y.L.
carried out the genome assembly, annotation and transcriptome analysis
with the help of J.S.Z., Y.W. carried out the phylogenomic analyses with
the help of Y.D.Z., B.L., T.W. and Z.D.C., Y.J.H., Y.S.L. and C.X.
detected the diel acid fluctuation in the leaves of C.
rotundifolia . Y.S.L., R.J.L, Z.M.L and Q.Y.L. identified the CAM
pathway related genes. Y.J.H and Q.Y.L isolated the total RNAs and
performed the expression pattern analysis of CAM pathway related genes
with the help of H.S.J., H.P.X., Y.W., Q.Y.L., J.W. and Q.F.W. wrote the
initial manuscript. J.W., J.N.W., Z.D.C., Z.C.L., L.M.L., G.W.H.,
R.J.L., R.A. and R.W.G. contributed the discussion of project at
different stages. All authors revised and contributed to the final
version of the text.
