De novo transcriptome assemblies of C3 and C4 non-model grass species reveal key differences in leaf development

Abstract Background C4 photosynthesis is a mechanism that plants have evolved to reduce the rate of photorespiration during the carbon fixation process. The C4 pathway allows plants to adapt to high temperatures and light while more efficiently using resources, such as water and nitrogen. Despite de...
