Scientists discover genetic blueprint that could revolutionize global food production: 'More productive and resilient crops for the future'While 95% of plants use C3 photosynthesis, SciTechDaily explained, a new group of plants evolved to use C4 photosynthesis ...
The other 5% of plants in the equation use C4 photosynthesis. "So, while you can't see it visually, at the cellular and molecular level, things are very different. And what's great is that these ...
Cross sections of C3 rice (left) and C4 sorghum (right) shoots. Both grain crops evolved from a common ancestor, but sorghum evolved to photosynthesize more efficiently.
