Kinetic Modifications of C4 PEPC Are Qualitatively Convergent, but Larger in Panicum Than in Flaveria

Kinetic Modifications of C4 PEPC Are Qualitatively Convergent, but Larger in Panicum Than in Flaveria

C4 photosynthesis results from a set of anatomical features and biochemical components that act together to concentrate CO2 within the leaf and boost productivity. This complex trait evolved independently many times, resulting in various realizations of the phenotype, but in all C4 plants the primar...
