Photosynthesis and yield response to elevated CO2, C4 plant foxtail millet behaves similarly to C3 species

, 2019
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a nutrient-rich food source traditionally grown in arid and semi-arid areas, as it is well adapted to drought climate. Yet there is limited information as how the crop responses to the changing climate.

Beneath the Drought: Rhizosphere Processes Shape Genotype‐Specific Sorghum Responses to Drought‐Induced N Limitation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Droughts increasingly threaten crop productivity in nutrient‐depleted tropical soils. We investigated how water limitation influences rhizomicrobial traits (microbial biomass and functional community composition, enzyme activities) and nitrogen (N) uptake in three sorghum genotypes Makueni local (Mkl), Gadam (Gd), and IESH 22012 (IESH) under ...

A transcription factor module mediating C2 photosynthesis in the Brassicaceae

EMBO Reports
C4 photosynthesis has arisen from the ancestral C3 state in over sixty lineages of angiosperms. It is widely accepted that an early step in C4 evolution is associated with the appearance of so-called C2 photosynthesis caused by loss of glycine ...

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.

Investigating the NAD-ME biochemical pathway within C4 grasses using transcript and amino acid variation in C4 photosynthetic genes

, 2018
Expanding knowledge of the C4 photosynthetic pathway can provide key information to aid biological improvements to crop photosynthesis and yield. While the C4 NADP-ME pathway is well characterised, there is increasing agricultural and bioengineering ...

Time‐series multi‐omics analysis of micronutrient stress in Sorghum bicolor reveals iron and zinc crosstalk and regulatory network conservation

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Overlap between Fe and Zn responsive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were found, indicative of micronutrient crosstalk, and conservation of root and leaf GRNs and genes suggests strong constraint on homeostasis networks in plants. Abstract Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops.

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 ...

Saturating mutagenesis on the Ser118 residue responsible for the spectral tuning mechanism of the orange/green‐reversible cyanobacteriochrome AM1_1499g1

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates our systematic site‐saturation mutagenesis at the Ser118 position of the AM1_1499g1 GAF domain. By replacing this single residue, we generated a diverse array of variants with distinct spectral properties, demonstrating the remarkable molecular plasticity of cyanobacteriochromes and their customizability for ...
