Enhancing plant photosynthesis through activating cells deficient in photosynthetic apparatus

F. Miao, Y. Zhao, M.-j. A. Lyu, B. Shi, F. Liu, X. Zhu

This study enhances plant photosynthesis by activating CGA1 in vascular bundle and bundle sheath cells, leading to increased chloroplasts, RuBisCO, and biomass with a 20% increase.

Regulatory preconditioning for the evolution of C4 photosynthesis revealed by low CO2 treatment of Arabidopsis thaliana

X.-G. Zhu, F. Miao, N. U. Haq, M.-J. A. Lyu

This study shows that low CO2 conditions increase C4-related gene expression and ammonia recycling in Arabidopsis, suggesting regulatory preconditioning for C4 photosynthesis evolution.

Increased α-ketoglutarate as a missing link from the C3-C4 intermediate state to C4 photosynthesis in the genus Flaveria

Q. Tang, Y. Huang, X. Ni, M.-J. A. Lyu, G. Chen, R. F. Sage, X. Zhu

The paper identifies increased α-ketoglutarate (AKG) as a key factor in the transition from C3 to C4 photosynthesis in Flaveria species, supported by metabolomic, sequence, and simulation analyses.

The evolution of stomatal traits along the trajectory towards C4 photosynthesis

y. zhao, M.-j. A. Lyu, F. Miao, g. chen, X. Zhu

This study examines how stomatal traits evolve from C3 to C4 photosynthesis in Flaveria species, finding a stepwise change with significant shifts in stomatal density and size.

Evolution of co-regulatory network of C4 metabolic genes and TFs in the genus Flaveria: go anear or away in the intermediate species?

M.-j. A. Lyu, J. Essemine, F. Chen, G. Chen, X.-G. Zhu

This study constructs TF co-regulatory networks for C4 metabolic genes across four Flaveria species, revealing species-specific co-regulations and evolutionary rewiring of TF networks during C4 photosynthesis development.

Evolutionary changes of phosphoenolpyruvate transporter (PPT) during the emergence of C4 photosynthesis

M.-J. A. Lyu, Y. Wang, J. Jiang, G. Chen, X. Zhu

This study examines evolutionary changes in the phosphoenolpyruvate transporter (PPT) during C4 photosynthesis emergence, identifying shifts in expression, light responsiveness, and cis-element acquisition in PPT1.
