C4 photosynthesis evolvedmore than 60 times independently in different plant lineages. Each time,multiple genes were recruited into C4 metabolism. The corresponding promoters acquired new regulatory features such as high ...

Photosynthesis needs to run efficiently under permanently changing illumination. To achieve this, highly dynamic acclimation processes optimize photosynthetic performance under a variety of rapidly changing light conditions. ...

Bienertia sinuspersici is a terrestrial plant that performs C4 photosynthesis within individual cells through operating a carbon concentrating mechanism between different subcellular domains including two types of chloroplasts. ...
