High intrinsic water use efficiency is underpinned by high stomatal aperture and guard cell potassium flux in C3 and C4 grasses grown at glacial CO2 and low light

Walter Krystler Israel et al.

Summary: The photosynthetic type of grasses affects their intrinsic water use efficiency. C-4 grasses have higher intrinsic water use efficiency and CO2 assimilation rates, and lower stomatal conductance and operational stomatal aperture. Stomatal size and density do not vary according to the photosynthetic type. Overall, intrinsic water use efficiency and stomatal conductance depend most on operational stomatal aperture and density of open stomata.

Reduction of bundle sheath size boosts cyclic electron flow in C4 Setaria viridis acclimated to low light

Chandra Bellasio et al.

Summary: When C-4 leaves are exposed to low light, acclimation strategies involving limitation of CO2 leakage, increased light penetration, and upregulation of cyclic electron flow in the bundle sheath can sustain photosynthetic efficiency.

The role of Cytochrome b6f in the control of steady-state photosynthesis: a conceptual and quantitative model

J. E. Johnson et al.

Summary: The study presents a model to describe the role of the Cytochrome b(6)f complex in controlling steady-state electron transport in C-3 leaves. It demonstrates that Cyt b(6)f balances the speed and efficiency of electron transport under limiting light, functioning as a metabolic switch under saturating light. Photosynthetic control of Cyt b(6)f occurs rapidly upon exposure to saturating light, serving as the primary means of photoprotection.

Upregulation of bundle sheath electron transport capacity under limiting light in C4 Setaria viridis

Maria Ermakova et al.

Summary: C-4 photosynthesis in shade-acclimated plants involves adjustments in the supramolecular composition of PSII in bundle sheath cells to optimize the redox state of the plastoquinone pool, enhancing linear electron flow capacity. Additionally, low light conditions lead to increased abundance of crucial electron transport proteins in bundle sheath cells, contributing to the maintenance of CO2 assimilation rates in C-4 plants. These findings provide insights into the acclimation mechanisms of C-4 plants under different light environments and suggest strategies for improving crop productivity through the engineering of C-4 photosynthesis into C-3 plants.
