Over billions of years, plants mastered the art of photosynthesis, but some took it a step further. While most crops like rice still rely on the older, less efficient C3 process, others like corn and ...
Sand dunes of warm regions provide suitable habitats for C4 plants because of their water and nitrogen use efficiency under high temperature and their high tolerance to ecological stress such as ...
C4 leaf phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31) is subject to a day/night regulatory phosphorylation cycle. By using the cytoplasmic protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX), we ...
RIPE researchers show the cause of productivity loss in the fluctuating light of maize crop canopies
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A team from the University of Illinois has measured the dynamic leakiness of CO 2 from C4 plants. Previous studies had measured the leakiness under steady-state conditions, but this ...
Cross sections of C3 rice (left) and C4 sorghum (right) shoots. Both grain crops evolved from a common ancestor, but sorghum evolved to photosynthesize more efficiently. LA JOLLA (November 20, ...
