The evolution of grasses using C4 photosynthesis and their sudden rise to ecological
dominance 3 to 8 million years ago is among the most dramatic examples of biome …

Using isotopic screens, phylogenetic assessments, and 45 years of physiological data, it is
now possible to identify most of the evolutionary lineages expressing the C4 photosynthetic …

The C4 pathway (abbreviated from C4 dicarboxylic acid pathway of photosynthesis, see
Refs. 78, 101) is a recently evolved elaboration of the conventional photosynthetic carbon …

In addition to photosynthesis as in the leaf, fruit possess a system which refixes CO2 from
the mitochondrial respiration of predominantly imported carbon. This pathway produces …

This book offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to desert ecology and adopts a
strong evolutionary focus. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis …

The quantum yield for CO2 uptake was measured on a number of C3 and C4 monocot and
dicot species. Under normal atmospheric conditions (330 microliters per liter CO2, 21% O2) …

C4 and CAM photosynthesis have repeatedly evolved in plants over the past 30 million
years. Because both repurpose the same set of enzymes but differ in their spatial and …

C, photosynthesis consists of the coordinated function of two cell types in the leaves, usually
designated mesophyll cells (MC) and bundle sheath cells (BSC), because enzymes of the C …

The net acquisition of carbon by photosynthetic organisms is catalyzed by ribulose-1, 5-
bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) through the carboxylation of RuBP, forming …
