The recurrent assembly of C4 photosynthesis, an evolutionary tale.

Photosynthesis research - 1 Nov 2013

Christin Pascal-Antoine, Osborne Colin P

Abstract excerpt

Today, plants using C4 photosynthesis are widespread and important components of major tropical and subtropical biomes, but the events that led to their evolution and success started billions of years ago (bya). A CO2-fixing enzyme evolved in the early Earth atmosphere with a tendency to confuse CO2 and O2 molecules. The descendants of early photosynthetic organisms coped with this property in the geological eras...
