Joe Ecker @JoeEcker, Joseph Swift @_joseph_swift, and team have revealed the genetic details of 30-million-year-old question: How did some plants evolve from less-efficient C3 photosynthesis to C4 photosynthesis? Their findings pave the way for the creation of more robust,

Absolutely delighted to share that I have been awarded an #ERCStG! In maxSYMize, we will explore how plants regulate carbon allocation to beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, and whether we can optimize carbon delivery for enhanced symbiotic benefits. @plantsci @Cambridge_Uni

We used the compact genome of Marchantia to identify a new regulator of chloroplasts. Cell

Analysis of a liverwort with a streamlined genome identified MYB-related transcription factors as regulators of chloroplast development in land plants.

Evolution's secret to C4 photosynthesis also includes translation! 🌱 Our work reveals how translational control of photosynthesis genes adapts to light in C3 rice and C4 sorghum. @CRAGENOMICA @jmhibber @TranslatingRNA @Thepallavisingh @TinaSchreier

C4 photosynthesis allows increased efficiency and has evolved in more than sixty-six plant lineages. Underpinning this repeated appearance of the C4 pathway is a major transcriptional reprogramming...

How has gene expression changed in different leaf cells to allow partitioning of photosynthesis and the evolution of the C4 pathway? We find that C4 photosynthesis genes acquire ancestral cis-elements to re-direct gene expression to a new cell type. https://t.co/HqDO7DNeAD

C4 photosynthesis is highly complex but found in >60 plant lineages. One hallmark is cell specific gene expression. We show that’s mediated by C4 genes acquiring cis elements that link to cell identity networks @l_luginbuehl @_joseph_swift @JoeEcker

Leaves of C4 plants make massive numbers of plasmodesmata linking M and BS cells. But how? Here we show it’s because their formation is linked to induction of photosynthesis. Also check out the amazing Supp movies https://t.co/C2LWn6PFsn

In leaves of C4 plants, the reactions of photosynthesis become restricted between two compartments. Typically, this allows accumulation of C4 acids in mesophyll (M) cells and subsequent decarboxyla...
