Evolution of gene regulatory network of C4 photosynthesis in the genus Flaveria reveals the evolutionary status of C3-C4 intermediate species [PDF]
Plant Communications, 2023 C4 photosynthesis evolved from ancestral C3 photosynthesis by recruiting pre-existing genes to fulfill new functions. The enzymes and transporters required for the C4 metabolic pathway have been intensively studied and well documented; however, the ...

Evolutionary Convergence of C4 Photosynthesis: A Case Study in the Nyctaginaceae [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 C4 photosynthesis evolved over 65 times, with around 24 origins in the eudicot order Caryophyllales. In the Caryophyllales family Nyctaginaceae, the C4 pathway is known in three genera of the tribe Nyctagineae: Allionia, Okenia and Boerhavia ...

Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation of Flaveria bidentis leaves: a novel method to examine the evolution of C4 photosynthesis [PDF]
Plant MethodsThe genus Flaveria has been studied extensively as a model for the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. Thus far, molecular analyses in this genus have been limited due to a dearth of genomic information and the lack of a rapid and efficient transformation ...
