eLife, 2021 A fundamental limitation of photosynthetic carbon fixation is the availability of CO2. In C4 plants, primary carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cytosol, and little is known about the role of CO2 diffusion in facilitating C4 photosynthesis.

Metabolite Transport in C4 Photosynthesis [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1971 Recent experiments which demonstrate the limited and complementary photosynthetic capacity of mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts in the leaves of C4 plants emphasize the role of structural organization in this photosynthetic process (Slack, Hatch, and Goodchild 1969; Edwards et al. 1970; Woo et al. 1970).

The Path from C3 to C4 Photosynthesis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2010 The C4 photosynthetic carbon cycle is an elaborated addition to the C3 photosynthetic pathway. It evolved as an adaptation to high light intensities, high temperatures, and dryness. Therefore, C4 plants dominate grassland floras and biomass production in the warmer climates of the tropical ...

Evolution guided engineering to improve C4 photosynthesis [PDF]
, 2020 Anticipated future population growth necessitates that more food is produced using the same, or less, area of land than we use today. One potential way to achieve this is through the improvement of photosynthesis in the crop plants that feed the world ...

Distinct C4 sub‐types and C3 bundle sheath isolation in the Paniceae grasses
Plant Direct, 2021 In C4 plants, the enzymatic machinery underpinning photosynthesis can vary, with, for example, three distinct C4 acid decarboxylases being used to release CO2 in the vicinity of RuBisCO.

Identification of Photosynthesis-Associated C4 Candidate Genes through Comparative Leaf Gradient Transcriptome in Multiple Lineages of C3 and C4 Species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Leaves of C4 crops usually have higher radiation, water and nitrogen use efficiencies compared to the C3 species. Engineering C4 traits into C3 crops has been proposed as one of the most promising ways to repeal the biomass yield ceiling.

Encoded C4 homologue enzymes genes function under abiotic stresses in C3 plant
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Plant organisms assimilate CO2 through the photosynthetic pathway, which facilitates in the synthesis of sugar for plant development. As environmental elements including water level, CO2 concentration, temperature and soil characteristics change, the ...

Is C4 photosynthesis less phenotypically plastic than C3 photosynthesis?* [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2005 C4 photosynthesis is a complex specialization that enhances carbon gain in hot, often arid habitats where photorespiration rates can be high. Certain features unique to C4 photosynthesis may reduce the potential for phenotypic plasticity and photosynthetic acclimation to environmental change relative to what is possible with C3 photosynthesis.

Understanding C4 Photosynthesis Through Quantitative Genetics [PDF]
, 2022 Photosynthesis is fundamental to all life on Earth. In terrestrial plants it relies exclusively on RuBisCO to fix atmospheric CO2 into the sugar-generating Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle.
