This project focuses on understanding the regulation of gene expression in plants, particularly in the context of photosynthesis. It aims to investigate how ancestral C3 plants inform the gene expression mechanisms in more efficient C4 plants, using advanced techniques to study individual cell types.
Life is dependent on sugars made during photosynthesis.
When plants colonized land ~450 million years ago they used a photosynthetic system known as the C3 pathway that still operates in the majority of species today.
However, from ~30 million years ago over sixty plant lineages evolved a version of photosynthesis known as the C4 pathway that increases CO2 fixation efficiency by about 50%. C4 species such as maize and sorghum are now the most productive on the planet and achieve this by compartm…
