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 …

C4 photosynthesis involves a series of biochemical and anatomical traits that significantly
improve plant productivity under conditions that reduce the efficiency of C3 photosynthesis …

We compared how stomatal morphology and physiology control intrinsic leaf water use
efficiency (iWUE) in two C3 and six C4 grasses grown at ambient (400 µmol mol–1) or …

We discuss the role of epigenetic changes at the level of promoter methylation of the key
enzymes of carbon metabolism in the regulation of respiration by light. While the direct …

Although sugar regulates photosynthesis, the signalling pathways underlying this process
remain elusive, especially for C4 crops. To address this knowledge gap and identify …

To better understand the coordination between dark and light reactions during the transition
from C3 to C4 photosynthesis, we optimized a method for separating thylakoids from …

Abstract Background and Aims The mechanisms of sugar sensing in grasses remain
elusive, especially those using C4 photosynthesis even though a large proportion of the …

Three subtypes of C4 photosynthesis exist (NADP‐ME, NAD‐ME and PEPCK), each known
to be beneficial under specific environmental conditions. However, the influence of …

C4 photosynthesis is typically characterized by the spatial compartmentalization of the
photosynthetic reactions into mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells. Initial carbon …

Several C4 crops dominate a large percentage of current agriculture due to the array of
physiological benefits provided by C4photosynthesis over the ancestral C3photosynthesis …
