Dynamic changes of genome sizes and gradual gain of cell‐specific distribution of C4 enzymes during C4 evolution in genus Flaveria

The Plant Genome, 2021
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.

Cleomaceae: diversity and potential of a model family for studies on the evolution of photosynthesis

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 6-17, January 2026.
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 ...

SCARECROW gene function is required for photosynthetic development in maize

Plant Direct, 2020
C4 photosynthesis in grasses relies on a specialized leaf anatomy. In maize, this “Kranz” leaf anatomy is patterned in part by the duplicated SCARECROW (SCR) genes ZmSCR1 and ZmSCR1h.

Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana)

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 2583-2598, December 2025.
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Decoding nitrogen uptake efficiency in maize and sorghum: insights from comparative gene regulatory networks

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 6, December 2025.
Significance Statement To decipher the regulatory basis of nitrogen, use efficiency (NUE), we built maize‐ and sorghum‐specific gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Cross‐species analyses revealed conserved and species‐specific feed‐forward loops (FFLs), with bZIP18 and bZIP30 as key regulators in maize.

Evolution of the C₄ phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase promoter of the C₄ species Flaveria trinervia: the role of the proximal promoter region

BMC Plant Biology, 2008
Background The key enzymes of photosynthetic carbon assimilation in C4 plants have evolved independently several times from C3 isoforms that were present in the C3 ancestral species.

Magnesium deficiency-induced changes in organic acid metabolism of Citrus sinensis roots and leaves

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Organic acid (OA) metabolisms are of fundamental importance but very limited data are available on the responses of plant OA metabolisms to Mg-deficiency. Seedlings of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Xuegan were irrigated with Mg-deficient (0, 50, or 500
