Maize and rice are the two most economically important grass crops and utilize distinct forms of photosynthesis to fix carbon: C4 and C3 respectively. Relative to C3 photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis reduces photorespiration and affords higher water and nitrogen use efficiencies under hot arid condi...

Already a proven mechanism for drought sustainability, crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized type of photosynthesis that maximizes water-use efficiency (WUE) via an inverse (compared to C3 and C4 photosynthesis-performing species) day/night pattern of stomatal closure/opening to shift ...

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-use efficient adaptation of photosynthesis that has evolved independently many times in diverse lineages of flowering plants. We hypothesize that convergent evolution of protein sequence and temporal gene expression underpins the independent emergences o...

In mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco), rind separation is an essential trait for marketing, as it confers easy-peeling, an inheritable trait whose genetic basis has not yet been characterized. To this end, we used the 30 K Affymetrix Citrus GeneChip to compare gene expression in albedo tissues of a...
