Antisense reduction in NADP-ME in the C<sub>4</sub> species Flaveria bidentis alters stomatal sensitivity to intercellular [CO<sub>2</sub>]. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Stomata have the crucial role of balancing the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and water loss via transpiration by adjusting their aperture. In C3 plants, coordination between photosynthesis and stomatal conductance can be disrupted by mutations in Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle expression, but it is not clear whether the disruption of the ...

Conserved spatial patterning of gene expression in independent lineages of C<sub>4</sub> plants. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary C4 photosynthesis enhances carbon fixation efficiency by reducing photorespiration through the use of an oxygen‐insensitive carboxylase and spatial separation of photosynthesis between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. The C4 pathway has evolved independently in > 60 plant lineages, but molecular mechanisms underpinning this convergence remain

Improved mesophyll-bundle sheath connectivity is achieved via different mechanisms in C<sub>2</sub> vs C<sub>4</sub> Alternanthera. [PDF]
New PhytolLeaf anatomy and biochemistry of C3, C2, and C4 plants. Summary Connectivity between mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells must improve during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis to facilitate large metabolite fluxes between these cell types, but the trait combinations that enhance M–BS connectivity and the points at which these enhancements occur ...

How evolution repeatedly builds complexity: a case study with C<sub>4</sub> photosynthesis in Blepharis (Acanthaceae). [PDF]
New PhytolSummary With over 60 parallel origins representing evolutionary replicates, C4 photosynthesis is well‐suited for studying complex trait evolution. However, lineages with diverse C3–C4 intermediate species are scarce, leaving uncertainty in models of C4 evolution.
