A draft genome assembly of halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica, a plant that performs C4 photosynthesis within individual cells [PDF]
Abstract Background The halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica performs complete C4 photosynthesis within individual cells (SCC4), which is distinct from typical C4 plants, which require the collaboration of 2 types of photosynthetic cells.

Genome-Wide Characterization and Analysis of the bHLH Transcription Factor Family in Suaeda aralocaspica, an Annual Halophyte With Single-Cell C4 Anatomy. [PDF]
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play important roles in plant growth, development, metabolism, hormone signaling pathways, and responses to abiotic stresses. However, comprehensive genomic and functional analyses ofbHLHgenes have not yet been reported in desert euhalophytes.Suaeda aralocaspica, an annual C4halophyte without Kranz ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Gene Family in Suaeda aralocaspica, an Annual Halophyte With Single-Cellular C4 Anatomy. [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) plays pivotal roles in the carbon fixation of photosynthesis and a variety of metabolic and stress pathways. Suaeda aralocaspica belongs to a single-cellular C4 species and carries out a photosynthetic pathway in an unusually elongated chlorenchyma cell, which is expected to have PEPCs with different ...

The Developmental Delay of Seedlings With Cotyledons Only Confers Stress Tolerance to Suaeda aralocaspica (Chenopodiaceae) by Unique Performance on Morphology, Physiology, and Gene Expression. [PDF]
Cotyledons play an important role in seedling establishment, although they may just exist for a short time and become senescent upon the emergence of euphylla. So far, the detailed function of cotyledons has not been well understood. Suaeda aralocaspica is an annual halophyte distributed in cold deserts; its cotyledons could exist for a longer time ...

Enhanced drought tolerance and photosynthetic efficiency in Arabidopsis by overexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from a single-cell C4 halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica. [PDF]
In crop genetic improvement, the introduction of C4 plants’ characteristics, known for high photosynthetic efficiency and water utilization, into C3 plants has been a significant challenge. This study investigates the effects of the desert halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica SaPEPC1 gene from a single-cell C4 photosythetic pathway, on drought resistance and ...
