This study compares single-cell transcriptomes of two independently evolved C4 dicot species to identify conserved gene expression patterns in bundle sheath cells.

This study manipulates brassinosteroid signalling in rice to increase chloroplast area in bundle sheath cells, showing cell-specific control can enhance chloroplast compartment size without severe growth effects.

The paper uses single nuclei sequencing to show C4 photosynthesis evolves through rewiring of cell identity networks from C3 plants.
