This study enhances plant photosynthesis by activating CGA1 in vascular bundle and bundle sheath cells, leading to increased chloroplasts, RuBisCO, and biomass with a 20% increase.

This study shows that low CO2 conditions increase C4-related gene expression and ammonia recycling in Arabidopsis, suggesting regulatory preconditioning for C4 photosynthesis evolution.

This study identifies intronless ERF transcription factors as a molecular tool used in the evolution of C4 photosynthesis in multiple plant lineages.

The paper identifies increased α-ketoglutarate (AKG) as a key factor in the transition from C3 to C4 photosynthesis in Flaveria species, supported by metabolomic, sequence, and simulation analyses.

This study examines how stomatal traits evolve from C3 to C4 photosynthesis in Flaveria species, finding a stepwise change with significant shifts in stomatal density and size.

This study constructs TF co-regulatory networks for C4 metabolic genes across four Flaveria species, revealing species-specific co-regulations and evolutionary rewiring of TF networks during C4 photosynthesis development.

This study examines evolutionary changes in the phosphoenolpyruvate transporter (PPT) during C4 photosynthesis emergence, identifying shifts in expression, light responsiveness, and cis-element acquisition in PPT1.
