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.

Replacement of large subunit N terminus enabled biogenesis of different plant Rubiscos in E. coli. [PDF]
Summary The efforts of engineering plant ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) with the goal of improving plant photosynthetic efficiency and crop yield have existed for long. However, the directed evolution of plant Rubisco has not been widely explored because its biogenesis in a heterologous host such as Escherichia coli remains ...

Photosynthetic and Photorespiratory Characteristics of Flaveria Species [PDF]
The genus Flaveria shows evidence of evolution in the mechanism of photosynthesis as its 21 species include C(3), C(3)-C(4), C(4)-like, and C(4) plants. In this study, several physiological and biochemical parameters of photosynthesis and photorespiration were measured in 18 Flaveria species representing all the photosynthetic types.

Photosynthetic Characteristics of Segregates from Hybrids between Flaveria brownii (C4 Like) and Flaveria linearis (C3-C4) [PDF]
Characteristics related to C4 photosynthesis were studied in reciprocal F1 hybrids and F2 plants from Flaveria brownii (C4 like) and Flaveria linearis (C3-C4). The reciprocal F1 plants differed in 13C/12C ratios of leaves and the percentage of 14C initially incorporated into C4 acids, being more like the pollen parents in these traits.

The Coevolution of RuBisCO, Photorespiration, and Carbon Concentrating Mechanisms in Higher Plants
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is the carbon-fixing enzyme present in most photosynthetic organisms, converting CO2 into organic matter.

Systems analysis of leaf anatomy and transcriptome using unsupervised machine learning provides insight on photosynthesis development and evolution in non-model grasses. [PDF]
Abstract The C4 photosynthesis includes intriguing leaf anatomies. The current model supports the placement of C3‐C4 intermediates as a middle point in the evolutionary trajectory from C3 to C4 photosynthesis. The known determinants involved in the differentiation of divergent photosynthetic leaves arose from the comparative analysis between both ends,

The Extraction, Isolation and Identification of Exudates from the Roots of Flaveria bidentis
Large amounts of Flaveria bidentis's root culturing solution were obtained by using DFT (deep flow technique) equipment and these solution which was vacuum concentrated (10, 20 mg mL−1) can have a certain inhibition on Triticum aestivum, Cucumis sativus,

Oxygen Stimulation of Apparent Photosynthesis in Flaveria linearis [PDF]
A plant was found in the C(3)-C(4) intermediate species, Flaveria linearis, in which apparent photosynthesis is stimulated by atmospheric O(2) concentrations. A survey of 44 selfed progeny of the plant showed that the O(2) stimulation of apparent photosynthesis was passed on to the progeny.
