C4 photosynthetic pathway fluxes in transgenic rice plants

This study demonstrates that four core C4 pathway reactions are operating in transgenic rice, establishing in vivo flux for a functional carbon-concentrating mechanism.

PsbS confers limited adaptive benefit to C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light

The paper investigates the role of PsbS in C4 plants under fluctuating light and finds that qE provides limited adaptive benefit compared to C3 plants.

Fitting photosynthetic carbon dioxide and irradiance response curves for C4 leaves

The paper updates a C4 photosynthesis model and provides fitting routines to estimate key parameters from CO2 and irradiance response curves using gas exchange measurements.

The Role of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase-Protein Kinase in C4 Photosynthesis: Insights from Zea mays Mutant Analysis

This study examines the impact of PEPC phosphorylation by PEPC-PK in Zea mays mutants, finding that while phosphorylation affects in vitro enzyme sensitivity to malate, it does not significantly alter photosynthetic performance or growth under field conditions.

Trade-offs between photosynthetic capacity, mesophyll conductance stability and leaf anatomy shape heat and water deficit resilience in Gossypium.

The paper examines how photosynthetic capacity, mesophyll conductance stability, and leaf anatomy affect heat and water deficit resilience in cotton species.

PGR5 promotes energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching to enable efficient C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light

This study shows that PGR5 enables efficient C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light by supporting proton motive force and energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching.

Automated and high throughput measurement of leaf stomatal traits in canola

SCAN measures canola stomatal traits with 89-94% accuracy using YOLOv8 and digital microscopy, and predicts traits in other species.
