De novo transcriptome assemblies of C3 and C4 non-model grass species reveal key differences in leaf development

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background C4 photosynthesis is a mechanism that plants have evolved to reduce the rate of photorespiration during the carbon fixation process. The C4 pathway allows plants to adapt to high temperatures and light while more efficiently using resources ...

Distinguishing carbon gains from photosynthesis and heterotrophy in C3-hemiparasite–C3-host pairs

Annals of Botany, 2021
AbstractBackground and AimsPrevious carbon stable isotope (13C) analyses have shown for very few C3-hemiparasites utilizing C4- or CAM-hosts the use of two carbon sources, autotrophy and heterotrophy. This 13C approach, however, failed for the frequently occurring C3–C3 parasite–host pairs.

Estimating uncertainty: A Bayesian approach to modelling photosynthesis in C3 leaves [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2021
AbstractThe Farquhar‐von Caemmerer‐Berry (FvCB) model is extensively used to model photosynthesis from gas exchange measurements. Since its publication, many methods have been developed to measure, or more accurately estimate, parameters of this model.

Physiological Changes in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum During the C3 to CAM Transition Induced by Salt Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Salt stress impedes plant growth and development, and leads to yield loss. Recently, a halophyte species Mesembryanthemum crystallinum has become a model to study plant photosynthetic responses to salt stress.

Biosystems Design to Accelerate C3-to-CAM Progression

BioDesign Research, 2020
Global demand for food and bioenergy production has increased rapidly, while the area of arable land has been declining for decades due to damage caused by erosion, pollution, sea level rise, urban development, soil salinization, and water scarcity ...

Whole genome sequencing and assembly data of Moricandia moricandioides and M. arvensis

Data in Brief, 2021
Moricandia is a genus belonging to the family Brassicaceae. C3 and C3C4 photosynthesis Moricandia species exist in a close phylogenetic proximity, as well as to Brassica crops. Here, we performed PacBio genome sequencing on M.

Uncovering C4-like photosynthesis in C3 vascular cells [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018
In C4 plants, the vascularization of the leaf is extended to include a ring of photosynthetic bundle sheath cells, which have essential and specific functions. In contrast to the substantial knowledge of photosynthesis in C4 plants, relatively little is known about photosynthesis in C3 plant veins, which differs substantially from that in C3 mesophyll ...

What Matters for C4 Transporters: Evolutionary Changes of Phosphoenolpyruvate Transporter for C4 Photosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
C4 photosynthesis is a complex trait that evolved from its ancestral C3 photosynthesis by recruiting pre-existing genes. These co-opted genes were changed in many aspects compared to their counterparts in C3 species.

A Model of C4 Photosynthetic Acclimation Based on Least‐Cost Optimality Theory Suitable for Earth System Model Incorporation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
Empirical studies have shown that plant photosynthetic responses to environmental change can vary over time due to acclimation, but acclimation responses are often not included in Earth System Models.

Beyond RuBisCO: convergent molecular evolution of multiple chloroplast genes in C4 plants [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background The recurrent evolution of the C4 photosynthetic pathway in angiosperms represents one of the most extraordinary examples of convergent evolution of a complex trait.
