The inevitability of C4 photosynthesis

eLife, 2014
Elements of C4 photosynthesis—a complex adaptation that increases photosynthetic efficiency—may have evolved first to correct an intercellular nitrogen imbalance, and only later evolved a central role in carbon fixation.

RNA-Seq based phylogeny recapitulates previous phylogeny of the genus Flaveria (Asteraceae) with some modifications. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The genus Flaveria has been extensively used as a model to study the evolution of C4 photosynthesis as it contains C3 and C4 species as well as a number of species that exhibit intermediate types of photosynthesis.

Nitrogen Uptake, Not Transfer of Carbon and Nitrogen by CMN, Explains the Effect of AMF on the Competitive Interactions Between Flaveria bidentis and Native Species

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Rhizophagus intraradices, one of the common arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) grown in the roots of Flaveria bidentis, facilitates the invasion of this exotic plant species into China.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Flaveria bidentis (L.) Kuntze, an invasive alien plant species in China

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Flaveria bidentis (L.) Kuntze (Asteraceae) is one of the most hazardous invasive alien plant species and spread rapidly in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of F. bidentis was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform. The results

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Multi‐Subunit Engineering of Photorespiratory Glycine Decarboxylase Refines Photosynthesis, Growth and Metabolic Robustness of Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photorespiration secures oxygenic photosynthesis from metabolic constraints arising from the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco in today's oxygen‐rich atmosphere. Beyond this protective function, it is vital for primary metabolism, cellular redox balance, and stomatal regulation.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Climate Change Impacts on Massive Invasive Plants in Henan Province, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Our findings offer a scientific foundation for the identification, monitoring, and management of malignant invasive alien plants in Henan Province. Given the projected spread of these species, it is crucial to enhance early warning systems and implement targeted regional prevention strategies to minimize their adverse impacts on the environment and ...

Identification of Wheat Sulfotransferase Genes and Functional Analysis of TaSOT48 Regulatory Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Sulfotransferases (SOTs) catalyze sulfate conjugation and contribute to diverse biochemical processes in plants. In this study, 112 wheat SOT genes were identified and characterized through genome‐wide analyses. The TaSOT genes were unevenly distributed across 21 chromosomes, and duplication analysis revealed 35 duplicated gene pairs that have
