Redox regulation in C3 and C4 plants during climate change and its implications on food security
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 ...

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.

There are approximately 700 obligate biotrophic species grouped into 20 genera (Oomycota, Peronosporaceae) that cause downy mildew diseases. In 2001, Dick hypothesized that diversification of downy mildew species was driven in part by host plant ...

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.

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.

Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]
C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

The role of photorespiration during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis in the genus Flaveria
C4 photosynthesis represents a most remarkable case of convergent evolution of a complex trait, which includes the reprogramming of the expression patterns of thousands of genes.

Small-molecule inhibition of pyruvate phosphate dikinase targeting the nucleotide binding site. [PDF]
Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) is an essential enzyme of C4 photosynthesis in plants, catalyzing the ATP-driven conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP).
