Photosynthesis in C3-C4 intermediate Moricandia species.
Evolution of C4 photosynthesis is not distributed evenly in the plant kingdom. Particularly interesting is the situation in the Brassicaceae, because the family contains no C4 species, but several C3-C4 intermediates, mainly in the genus Moricandia Investigation of leaf anatomy, gas exchange parameters, the metabolome, and the transcriptome of two C3-C4 intermediate Moricandia species, M. arven...
متن کاملPhotorespiration connects C3 and C4 photosynthesis.
C4 plants evolved independently more than 60 times from C3 ancestors. C4 photosynthesis is a complex trait and its evolution from the ancestral C3 photosynthetic pathway involved the modification of the leaf anatomy and the leaf physiology accompanied by changes in the expression of thousands of genes. Under high temperature, high light, and the current CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, the ...
متن کاملRegulation of Photosynthesis in C3 and C4 Plants: A Molecular Appmach
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis, also called the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle (PCR), shown in Figure 1A. C3 plants have a single chloroplast type that performs all of the reactions that convert light energy into the chemical energy that is used to fix COp and to synthesize the reduced carbon compounds upon which all life depends. Ribulose-i ,5-bisphosphate carboxylasel...

متن کاملPhotosynthesis of C3, C3–C4, and C4 grasses at glacial CO2
Most physiology comparisons of C3 and C4 plants are made under current or elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 which do not reflect the low CO2 environment under which C4 photosynthesis has evolved. Accordingly, photosynthetic nitrogen (PNUE) and water (PWUE) use efficiency, and the activity of the photosynthetic carboxylases [Rubisco and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC)] and decarb...
