While plants like rice continued using an old form of photosynthesis known as C3, others like corn and sorghum developed a ...

Researchers have studied the effects of elevated O3 on five C3 crops (chickpea, rice, snap bean, soybean, wheat) and four C4 crops (sorghum, maize, Miscanthus × giganteus, switchgrass).

On the other hand, natural C4 plants, like corn, are more efficient thanks to the cell structure of their leaves. In C4 plants, RuBisCO transforms CO2 into energy away from the leaf surface in ...

Nonstomatal control of transpiration in maize, sorghum, and proso millet – all C4 crops which are critical for global food security – gives these plants an advantage in maintaining a ...

Nonstomatal control of transpiration in maize, sorghum, and proso millet – all C4 crops which are critical for global food security – gives these plants an advantage in maintaining a beneficial ...

Salk researchers have discovered how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help make staple crops including rice and wheat more resilient to climate ...

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 ...

Scientists discovered a stretch of DNA in both C3 plants, like wheat and soybeans, and C4 plants, like corn and sorghum, that is responsible for optimizing C4 plant photosynthesis and making them ...
