The molecular evolution of -carbonic anhydrase in Flaveria [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011 Limited information exists regarding molecular events that occurred during the evolution of C(4) plants from their C(3) ancestors. The enzyme β-carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1), which catalyses the reversible hydration of CO(2), is present in multiple forms in C(3) and C(4) plants, and has given insights into the molecular evolution of the C(4 ...

Cleomaceae: diversity and potential of a model family for studies on the evolution of photosynthesis. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)The Cleomaceae family integrates floral diversity, physiological plasticity, and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, serving as an important model to investigate plant adaptation and evolutionary innovation. Abstract Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which plants adapt to environmental factors is essential for improving crop ...
