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...

The C4 pathway is a highly complex trait that increases photosynthetic efficiency in over sixty plant lineages. Although the majority of C4 plants occupy disturbed, arid and nutrient-poor habitats, some grow in high-nutrient, waterlogged conditions. One such example is Echinochloa glabrescens, which...

In maize, two plastidic NADP-malic enzyme (C4-NADP-ME) isoforms are present: C4-NADP-ME and nonC4-NADP-ME, each with distinct kinetic and structural features. To investigate the differences in oligomeric states of C4- and nonC4-NADP-ME in plant tissues, we analyzed extracts of maize from etiolated l...

The C4 photosynthetic pathway provided a major advantage to plants growing in hot, dry environments, including the ancestors of our most productive crops. Two traits were essential for the evolution of this pathway: increased vein density and the functionalization of bundle sheath cells for photosyn...
