Abstract

Recent progress in genomics has provided complete or near complete genome sequences of several C₃ (e.g. Arabidopsis, rice, and poplar) and C₄ (e.g. sorghum and maize) plant species. These genome sequences enabled comparative quantitative proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of C₃ and C₄ plants, in particular of their chloroplasts. Such analyses have revealed a comprehensive picture of the distribution of C₄ pathway components between bundle sheath and mesophyll cell chloroplasts and they permitted the prediction of novel pathway components. A comprehensive understanding of the C₄ photosynthetic mechanism is required for the transfer of C₄-like photosynthesis into C₃ crop plants, such as rice.
