C4 photosynthesis serves as a prominent example of convergent evolution in complex traits. Here, the authors construct chromosome-scale genome assemblies for five Flaveria species and investigate ...

These rice plants combat photorespiration via C4 photosynthesis. Credit: Utsman Media/Unsplash Some plants, like rice, wheat, and maize, can combat photorespiration through a photosynthesis ...

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...
