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 ...

Effects of water extracts of Flaveria bidentis on the seed germination and seedling growth of three plants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 To further explore the mechanism behind the allelopathic effects of Flaveria bidentis, we investigated the allelopathic effects of water extracts from Flaveria bidentis leaves on three plants, Shanghai green, barnyard grass and wheat.

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 ...

A dominant role of transcriptional regulation during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis in Flaveria species [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsC4 photosynthesis exemplifies convergent evolution of complex traits. Herein, we construct chromosome-scale genome assemblies and perform multi-omics analysis for five Flaveria species, which represent evolutionary stages from C3 to C4 photosynthesis ...

A comparison of stomatal conductance responses to blue and red light between C3 and C4 photosynthetic species in three phylogenetically-controlled experiments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionC4 photosynthesis is an adaptation that has independently evolved at least 66 times in angiosperms. C4 plants, unlike their C3 ancestral, have a carbon concentrating mechanism which suppresses photorespiration, often resulting in faster ...

Activation of CO2 assimilation during photosynthetic induction is slower in C4 than in C3 photosynthesis in three phylogenetically controlled experiments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionDespite their importance for the global carbon cycle and crop production, species with C4 photosynthesis are still somewhat understudied relative to C3 species.

Metabolomics of related C3 and C4 Flaveria species indicate differences in the operation of photorespiration under fluctuating light [PDF]
Plant DirectC3 photosynthesis can be complemented with a C4 carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) to minimize photorespiratory losses. C4 photosynthesis is often more efficient than C3 under steady‐state conditions.
