Urzinger S, Avramova V, Frey M, Urbany C, Scheuermann D, Presterl T, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2024 Dec; 197(1). PMID: 39711175
The sustainability of maize cultivation would benefit tremendously from early sowing, but is hampered by low temperatures during early development in temperate climates. We show that allelic variation within the...

Billakurthi K, Wrobel T, Gowik U, Brautigam A, Weber A, Westhoff P
Plant J . 2024 Oct; 120(4):1438-1456. PMID: 39427328
C species have evolved more than 60 times independently from C ancestors. This multiple and parallel evolution of the complex C trait suggests common underlying evolutionary mechanisms, which could be...

Bano Z, Westhoff P
Plant Direct . 2024 Apr; 8(4):e577. PMID: 38576996
Because of their photosynthetic capacity, leaves function as solar panels providing the basis for the growth of the entire plant. Although the molecular mechanisms of leaf development have been well...

Burgess A, Masclaux-Daubresse C, Strittmatter G, Weber A, Taylor S, Harbinson J, et al.
Food Energy Secur . 2023 Apr; 12(1):e435. PMID: 37035025
The growing world population and global increases in the standard of living both result in an increasing demand for food, feed and other plant-derived products. In the coming years, plant-based...

Billakurthi K, Schulze S, Schulz E, Sage T, Schreier T, Hibberd J, et al.
Plant Direct . 2022 Oct; 6(10):e455. PMID: 36263108
A key feature of C Kranz anatomy is the presence of an enlarged, photosynthetically highly active bundle sheath whose cells contain large numbers of chloroplasts. With the aim to identify...

Lyu M, Gowik U, Kelly S, Covshoff S, Hibberd J, Sage R, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 Aug; 11(1):15618. PMID: 34341365
C photosynthesis is a remarkable complex trait, elucidations of the evolutionary trajectory of C photosynthesis from its ancestral C pathway can help us better understand the generic principles of the...

Taniguchi Y, Gowik U, Kinoshita Y, Kishizaki R, Ono N, Yokota A, et al.
Plant Genome . 2021 Apr; 14(2):e20095. PMID: 33913619
C plants are believed to have evolved from C plants through various C -C intermediate stages in which a photorespiration-dependent CO concentration system known as C photosynthesis operates. Genes involved...

van Rooijen R, Schulze S, Petzsch P, Westhoff P
J Exp Bot . 2019 Nov; 71(4):1434-1448. PMID: 31740936
In an effort to identify genetic regulators for the cell ontogeny around the veins in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, an activation-tagged mutant line with altered leaf morphology and altered bundle sheath...

Gupta S, Levey M, Schulze S, Karki S, Emmerling J, Streubel M, et al.
Plant J . 2019 Sep; 101(1):204-216. PMID: 31529521
C photosynthetic plants have evolved from C ancestors and are characterized by differential expression of several hundred genes. Strict compartmentalization of key C enzymes either to mesophyll (M) or bundle...

Doring F, Billakurthi K, Gowik U, Sultmanis S, Khoshravesh R, Gupta S, et al.
Plant J . 2018 Nov; 97(5):984-995. PMID: 30447112
The evolution of C photosynthesis proceeded stepwise with each small step increasing the fitness of the plant. An important pre-condition for the introduction of a functional C cycle is the...
