Article Synopsis

* Researchers performed a genome-wide analysis of LARP proteins across eight plant species, identifying three families and focusing on ZmLARP6c1 in maize, which is highly expressed in pollen.
* Overexpression of ZmLARP6c1 was linked to increased pollen germination and changes in gene expression associated with important hormonal pathways, highlighting its regulatory role in maize.

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible CO2 hydration reaction that produces bicarbonate for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC). This is the initial step for transmitting the CO2 signal in C4 photosynthesis. However, it remains unknown whether the maize (Zea mays L.
