Optimal coordination and reorganization of photosynthetic properties in C4 grasses

H. Zhou, E. Akcay, B. Helliker

The paper examines how C4 grasses optimize and reorganize photosynthetic properties through optimality modeling, physiological measurements, and phylogenetic analysis, finding higher Jmax/Vcmax ratios and ongoing optimization processes.

The legacy of C4 evolution in the hydraulics of C3 and C4 grasses

H. Zhou, E. Akcay, E. Edwards, B. Helliker

This study examines how C4 photosynthesis evolution affects hydraulic traits in grasses, finding that younger C4 lineages have higher hydraulic conductance and capacitance, while older lineages show reduced values.

Deriving C4 photosynthesis parameters by fitting intensive A/Ci curves

H. Zhou, E. Akcay, B. Helliker

The paper develops methods to estimate C4 photosynthesis parameters from A/Ci curves by fitting models with different assumptions about carbonic anhydrase and ATP distribution.

C4 photosynthesis and climate through the lens of optimality

H. Zhou, B. Helliker, E. Akcay

This paper models the evolutionary drivers of C4 photosynthesis by optimizing photosynthesis and hydraulics, showing water limitation initially drove C4 evolution, while low CO2 and light intensity later facilitated its global spread.
