Kinetic variation in grass phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases provides opportunity to enhance C4 photosynthetic efficiency

Robert J. DiMario et al.

Summary: The natural variation in K-HCO3 across C-4 plants, driven by specific amino acid substitutions, significantly impacts rates of C-4 photosynthesis, suggesting that C-4 plants can regulate photosynthetic rates by modulating PEPC under environments with restricted stomatal conductance.

Updating the steady-state model of C4 photosynthesis

Susanne von Caemmerer

Summary: C-4 plants play a vital role in global agriculture, with crops like maize and sorghum being major contributors to food production, and grasses like sugarcane, miscanthus, and switchgrass serving as important sources of bioenergy. The temperature and kinetic parameters play critical roles in C-4 photosynthesis, influencing the efficiency of photosynthesis and gas exchange.

Leaf anatomical characteristics are less important than leaf biochemical properties in determining photosynthesis responses to nitrogen top-dressing

Dongliang Xiong et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of N supply on leaf anatomical, biochemical, and photosynthetic features in tobacco, revealing that high N treatment led to enhanced photosynthesis due to increased CO2 diffusion conductance and photosynthetic biochemical capacity. The increase in gm in leaves treated with high N was related to changes in leaf anatomy, but the rapid response to N top-dressing could not be fully explained by leaf anatomical modifications.

Mesophyll conductance variability of rice aquaporin knockout lines at different growth stages and growing environments

Xianhong Huang et al.

Summary: The plasma membrane subfamily of aquaporins, known as PIPs, plays an important role in CO2 diffusion across membranes and photosynthesis, but its exact role in mesophyll conductance to CO2 remains unclear. Differences in growth conditions and growth stages may influence the differences in photosynthetic performance between PIP knockout lines and wild-type plants.

Mesophyll conductance: walls, membranes and spatial complexity

John R. Evans

Summary: Mesophyll tissue inside leaves imposes a significant resistance to CO2 diffusion, affecting the rate of carbon assimilation. Mesophyll conductance, gm, depends on factors such as chloroplast exposure, cell wall properties, and membrane CO2 permeability. The lack of measurements for these parameters and the low CO2 permeability values raise caution in drawing conclusions from modeling studies.
