As compared to C3, C4 plants have higher photosynthetic rates and better tolerance to high
temperature and drought. These traits are highly beneficial in the current scenario of global …

Strategies for depleting carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gases are urgently needed and
carbonic anhydrases (CAs) can contribute to solving this problem. They catalyze the …

A stereo interplanting system with foxtail millet beneath chestnut trees is an effective planting
method to raise the utilization of land in chestnut orchards, increase yields and improve …

The CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) in C4 plants is initiated by the uptake of
bicarbonate (HCO3−) via phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC). Generation of …

Introduction Identifying rice (Oryza sativa) germplasm with improved efficiency of primary
metabolism is of utmost importance in order to increase yields. One such approach can be …

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) performs the first enzymatic step of C4 photosynthesis by
catalysing the reversible hydration of dissolved CO2 that diffuses into mesophyll cells from …

Abstract Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), a high-quality forage grass, is a good nutrient source
for herbivorous livestock. However, improving nitrogen use efficiency and avoiding nitrate …

Hygrophila polysperma is a heterophyllous amphibious plant. The growth of H. polysperma
in submerged conditions is challenging due to the low CO2 environment, increased …

Chrysanthemums are versatile ornamental plants, and improving leaf and flower traits is an
important breeding objective. Distant hybridization is a powerful method for plant breeding …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is an ideal model of genetic system for functional genomics of
the Panicoideae crop. Identification of QTL responsible for morpho-agronomic and yield …
