Quantitative metabolic and lipidomic landscapes reveal the molecular phenotype of C4 evolution in genus Flaveria

Discover Plants
C4 photosynthesis possess complex traits associated with high efficiencies in light, nitrogen and water utilization. To investigate the coupling of carbon and nitrogen stoichiometry within the systematic metabolism along the evolutionary path from C3 to ...

Computational modelling predicts substantial carbon assimilation gains for C3 plants with a single-celled C4 biochemical pump.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2019
Achieving global food security for the estimated 9 billion people by 2050 is a major scientific challenge. Crop productivity is fundamentally restricted by the rate of fixation of atmospheric carbon.

Consumption of anthropogenic foods influences the nutritional and reproductive condition of hunter‐harvested black bears

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The consumption of human food subsidies influences ecological processes, and can affect individual behavior and fitness with population level changes in abundance and distribution. American black bears Ursus americanus often consume human food subsidies, which have been correlated with increased bear body size, age‐specific fertility and mortality ...

IsoSeq transcriptome assembly of C3 panicoid grasses provides tools to study evolutionary change in the Panicoideae

Plant Direct, 2020
The number of plant species with genomic and transcriptomic data has been increasing rapidly. The grasses—Poaceae—have been well represented among species with published reference genomes.

Nitrogen addition alters adaptive strategies of a dominant plant species in an alpine meadow via shifts in traits and trait coordination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition significantly impacts plant functional traits in alpine meadows, yet the adaptive strategies of dominant species remain unclear. Understanding these strategies is crucial for predicting alpine grassland vegetation changes and ecosystem ...

Molecular investigation of how drought stress affects chlorophyll metabolism and photosynthesis in leaves of C3 and C4 plant species: A transcriptome meta-analysis

Heliyon
Drought stress has a significant impact on photosynthesis in plants, leading to reduced photosynthesis rates and affecting plant growth and yield. Understanding the effects of drought stress on photosynthetic pathways, particularly in C3 and C4 plants ...

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...

The Role of Sink Strength and Nitrogen Availability in the Down-Regulation of Photosynthetic Capacity in Field-Grown Nicotiana tabacum L. at Elevated CO2 Concentration

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Down-regulation of photosynthesis is among the most common responses observed in C3 plants grown under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]).
