Activation of CO2 assimilation during photosynthetic induction is slower in C4 than in C3 photosynthesis in three phylogenetically controlled experiments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionDespite their importance for the global carbon cycle and crop production, species with C4 photosynthesis are still somewhat understudied relative to C3 species.

Enhancing C3 Photosynthesis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2010 A new “green revolution” is needed in world agriculture to increase crop yields for food and bioenergy, because gains from conventional crop improvement ([Fischer and Edmeades, 2010][1]) are less than world population growth.

The Plant Genome, 2021 C4 plants are believed to have evolved from C3 plants through various C3–C4 intermediate stages in which a photorespiration‐dependent CO2 concentration system known as C2 photosynthesis operates.

The Path from C3 to C4 Photosynthesis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2010 The C4 photosynthetic carbon cycle is an elaborated addition to the C3 photosynthetic pathway. It evolved as an adaptation to high light intensities, high temperatures, and dryness. Therefore, C4 plants dominate grassland floras and biomass production in the warmer climates of the tropical ...

Redox regulation in C3 and C4 plants during climate change and its implications on food security
Food and Energy Security, 2023 Achieving food security and sustainable food production is a major challenge for plant scientists. To accomplish this, the global food production needs not only to be remarkably boosted, but it has to be achieved under harsh environmental conditions ...

The coordination of major events in C4 photosynthesis evolution in the genus Flaveria
Scientific Reports, 2021 C4 photosynthesis is a remarkable complex trait, elucidations of the evolutionary trajectory of C4 photosynthesis from its ancestral C3 pathway can help us better understand the generic principles of the evolution of complex traits and guide the ...

Is C4 photosynthesis less phenotypically plastic than C3 photosynthesis?* [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2005 C4 photosynthesis is a complex specialization that enhances carbon gain in hot, often arid habitats where photorespiration rates can be high. Certain features unique to C4 photosynthesis may reduce the potential for phenotypic plasticity and photosynthetic acclimation to environmental change relative to what is possible with C3 photosynthesis.
