Validation of reference genes for quantitative RT-PCR normalization in Suaeda aralocaspica, an annual halophyte with heteromorphism and C4 pathway without Kranz anatomy [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is a powerful analytical technique for the measurement of gene expression, which depends on the stability of the reference gene used for data normalization.

Using evolution as a guide to engineer kranz-type c4 photosynthesis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Kranz-type C4 photosynthesis has independently and rapidly evolved over sixty times to dramatically increase radiation use efficiency in both monocots and eudicots. Indeed, it is one of the most exceptional examples of convergent evolution in the history

Comparative transcriptomics reveals the role of altered energy metabolism in the establishment of single-cell C4 photosynthesis in Bienertia sinuspersici [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Single-cell C4 photosynthesis (SCC4) in terrestrial plants without Kranz anatomy involves three steps: initial CO2 fixation in the cytosol, CO2 release in mitochondria, and a second CO2 fixation in central chloroplasts.
