Abstract Genetically modified cotton T304‐40 × GHB119 × COT102 was developed by crossing to combine three single events: T304‐40, GHB119 and COT102. The three‐event stack cotton expresses Cry1Ab, Cry2Ae, Vip3Aa19 and PAT/bar to confer herbicide tolerance and insect resistance.

Summary Our understanding of how photosynthetic capacity varies among C4 species and across growth and measurement conditions remains limited. We collated 1696 CO2 response curves of net CO2 assimilation rate (A/Ci curves) from C4 species grown and measured at various environmental conditions and used these data to estimate the apparent maximum ...

A guide to understanding and measuring photosynthetic induction: considerations and recommendations
Summary Photosynthetic induction is the leaf‐level process by which a plant assimilates CO2 from the atmosphere once exposed to a change in light intensity after a period of darkness or shade. In the field, photosynthetic induction can take place hundreds of times in a single day in response to rapid fluctuations in the light environment due to cloud ...

The parasitic weed Striga affects crops such as sorghum, maize, millet, and rice in over 40 countries on the African continent and negatively impacts the livelihood of over 300 million small‐holder farmers. Striga seeds can remain dormant in the soil for many years until they are triggered to germinate by germination stimulants, called strigolactones ...

Summary Global demand for food may rise by 60% mid‐century. A central challenge is to meet this need using less land in a changing climate. Nearly all crop carbon is assimilated through Rubisco, which is catalytically slow, reactive with oxygen, and a major component of leaf nitrogen.

Genetic transformation of the C4 plant, Flaveria bidentis [PDF]
SummaryAn efficient and rapid transformation system for the dicotyledonous C4 plant, Flaveria bidentis has been developed. The method involves Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of explants followed by regeneration of shoots from kanamycin‐resistant callus.

Transcriptome dynamics in developing leaves from C3 and C4 Flaveria species
SUMMARY C4 species have evolved more than 60 times independently from C3 ancestors. This multiple and parallel evolution of the complex C4 trait suggests common underlying evolutionary mechanisms, which could be identified by comparative analysis of closely related C3 and C4 species.

Summary The superior productivity of C4 plants is achieved via a metabolic C4 cycle which acts as a CO2 pump across mesophyll and bundle sheath (BS) cells and requires an additional input of energy in the form of ATP. The importance of chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase‐like complex (NDH) operating cyclic electron flow (CEF) around Photosystem I (PSI) for ...

C4 monocots and C4 dicots exhibit rapid photosynthetic induction response in contrast to C3 plants
Abstract Considering the prevalence of ever‐changing conditions in the natural world, investigation of photosynthetic responses in C4 plants under fluctuating light is needed. Here, we studied the effect of dynamic illumination on photosynthesis in totally 10 C3, C3–C4 intermediate, C4‐like and C4 dicots and monocots at CO2 concentrations of 400 and ...
