De novo Transcriptome Assembly and Comparison of C3, C3-C4, and C4 Species of Tribe Salsoleae (Chenopodiaceae)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
C4 photosynthesis is a carbon-concentrating mechanism that evolved independently more than 60 times in a wide range of angiosperm lineages. Among other alterations, the evolution of C4 from ancestral C3 photosynthesis requires changes in the expression ...

Photosynthesis in Nontypical C4 Species: C4 Cycles without Kranz Anatomy and C4 Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Transitions

, 2016
All plants and kinds of eukaryotic photoautotrophs use thesame basic pathway for photosynthetic CO2 fixation: the C3cycle (alternatively called photosynthetic carbon reductioncycle or Calvin and Benson cycle).

Setaria viridis: A model for C4 photosynthesis [PDF]

, 2010
C4 photosynthesis drives productivity in several major food crops and bioenergy grasses, including maize (Zea mays), sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), Miscanthus × giganteus, and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum).

Oxygen requirement and inhibition of C4 photosynthesis [PDF]

, 1998
The basis for O2 sensitivity of C4 photosynthesis was evaluated using a C4-cycle-limited mutant of Amaranthus edulis (a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase-deficient mutant), and a C3-cyclelimited transformant of Flaveria bidentis (an antisense ribulose-1,

Efficient In Vivo Screening Method for the Identification of C4 Photosynthesis Inhibitors Based on Cell Suspensions of the Single-Cell C4 Plant Bienertia sinuspersici

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The identification of novel herbicides is of crucial importance to modern agriculture. We developed an efficient in vivo assay based on oxygen evolution measurements using suspensions of chlorenchyma cells isolated from the single-cell C4 plant Bienertia

Deep evolutionary comparison of gene expression identifies parallel recruitment of trans-factors in two independent origins of C4 photosynthesis.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
With at least 60 independent origins spanning monocotyledons and dicotyledons, the C4 photosynthetic pathway represents one of the most remarkable examples of convergent evolution.

Transition From Proto-Kranz-Type Photosynthesis to HCO3– Use Photosynthesis in the Amphibious Plant Hygrophila polysperma

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Hygrophila polysperma is a heterophyllous amphibious plant. The growth of H. polysperma in submerged conditions is challenging due to the low CO2 environment, increased resistance to gas diffusion, and bicarbonate ion (HCO3–) being the dominant dissolved

Exploiting the engine of C4 photosynthesis [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011
Ever since the discovery of C(4) photosynthesis in the mid-1960s, plant biologists have envisaged the introduction of the C(4) photosynthetic pathway into C(3) crops such as rice and soybeans. Recent advances in genomics capabilities, and new evolutionary and developmental studies indicate that C(4) engineering will be feasible in the next few decades.

Incident light orientation lets C4 monocotyledonous leaves make light work differently [PDF]

, 2008
Photosynthesis is an important driver of ecosystem sustainability in the face of climate change. Monocotyledonous crop species with C4 photosynthesis such as maize (Zea mays L; corn) and sugar cane are crucial for future food security and biofuel crop ...

The origins of C4 grasslands : integrating evolutionary and ecosystem science

, 2010
The evolution of grasses using C4 photosynthesis and their sudden rise to ecological dominance 3 to 8 million years ago is among the most dramatic examples of biome assembly in the geological record.
