Abstract

C4 photosynthesis is a unique blend of biochemical, anatomical, and gene regulatory characteristics. In the vast majority of C4 plants, i.e. with the exception of single-cell C4 photosynthesis in the Chenopodiaceae, this photosynthetic pathway is the result of the integrated metabolic activities of
