The paper investigates diurnal changes in photosynthesis gene expression in maize, identifying transcription factors that regulate C4 gene expression in mesophyll and bundle sheath cells during peak photosynthesis.

The paper identifies gene expression patterns in rice bundle sheath cells, showing specialization in water transport, sulfur assimilation, and jasmonic acid synthesis, with conservation across C3 species.

The paper investigates how C4 gene expression is induced through cis-regulatory changes in Gynandropsis gynandra, showing similar induction patterns to C3 genes but with stronger expression.

The paper identifies genome-wide transcription factor binding in leaves of C3 and C4 grasses using DNaseI-SEQ, revealing conserved sites and shared mechanisms in C4 photosynthesis gene regulation.

The paper identifies a conserved cis-element pair in the NADP-ME promoter of maize that evolved from an ancestral C3 regulatory code to control C4 photosynthesis.

The paper identifies two conserved DNA motifs in exons that control spatial gene expression in C4 leaves, showing they are ancient and functionally important for C4 photosynthesis.
