Article Synopsis
- The C4 photosynthetic pathway offers significant advantages for plants in hot, dry conditions, crucial for the evolution of major crops.
- Increased vein density and specialized bundle sheath cells are key traits that enabled the development of this pathway.
- Research indicates that the SHORT ROOT (SHR) protein regulates essential functions in bundle sheath cells, impacting photosynthesis and resilience under heat stress, making it a potential target for improving non-C4 crops.
