Tracking the evolutionary rise of C(4) metabolism

Upregulation of the C(4) metabolic cycle is a major step in the evolution of C(4) photosynthesis. Why this happened remains unclear, in part because of difficulties measuring the C(4) cycle in situ in C(3)-C(4) intermediate species. Now, Alonso-Cantabrana and von Caemmerer (2016) have described a ne...

description Upregulation of the C(4) metabolic cycle is a major step in the evolution of C(4) photosynthesis. Why this happened remains unclear, in part because of difficulties measuring the C(4) cycle in situ in C(3)-C(4) intermediate species. Now, Alonso-Cantabrana and von Caemmerer (2016) have described a new approach for quantifying C(4) cycle activity, thereby providing the means to analyze its upregulation in an evolutionary context.
