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 کاملSingle-Cell C4 Photosynthesis in Chenopodiaceae Species
Accurate three-dimensional imaging of plant structures and gene activity will facilitate a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that underlie plant growth and development. Lee et al. (pages 2145–2156) used optical projection tomography (OPT) to capture three-dimensional data from plant specimens. OPT has the advantages of other optical methods but with greater penetration and the ability to g...

The question then is how the same neurons convey two different sorts of information. The answer is that motor giants are capable of generating two types of action potentials, small/slow calcium spikes and large/fast sodium spikes, depending on the degree of depolarization it receives. As opposed to the input from the ring giant, the input from the pacemaker is too low to trigger the sodium spik...
متن کاملWild Manihot species: botanical aspects, geographic distribution and economic value.
A total of 98 Manihot species have been recognized in the genus. All of them are native to the tropics of the New World, particularly Brazil and Mexico. The cultigen, Manihot esculenta Crantz (cassava), grows throughout the lowland tropics. Wild species vary in growth habit from acaulescent or short shrubs to tree-like. Because of their adaptations to different conditions, they are gene reservo...
متن کاملC4 Photosynthesis Promoted Species Diversification during the Miocene Grassland Expansion
Identifying how organismal attributes and environmental change affect lineage diversification is essential to our understanding of biodiversity. With the largest phylogeny yet compiled for grasses, we present an example of a key physiological innovation that promoted high diversification rates. C4 photosynthesis, a complex suite of traits that improves photosynthetic efficiency under conditions...
