Improving our understanding of environmental controls on the distribution of C3 and C4 grasses.
A number of studies have demonstrated the ecological sorting of C3 and C4 grasses along temperature and moisture gradients. However, previous studies of C3 and C4 grass biogeography have often inadvertently compared species in different and relatively unrelated lineages, which are associated with different environmental settings and distinct adaptive traits. Such confounded comparisons of C3 an...
متن کاملChemical and carbon isotopic characteristics of ash and smoke derived from burning of C3 and C4 grasses
C4 and C3 grasses were subjected to burning in the laboratory to determine whether there was any significant fractionation of carbon isotopes between plant material and corresponding ash and smoke produced from burning. The results show that smoke produced from C4 grasses is generally depleted in C relative to the original plant, but the magnitude of the C depletion varies with species from <0....
متن کاملPhotosynthesis of C3, C3–C4, and C4 grasses at glacial CO2
Most physiology comparisons of C3 and C4 plants are made under current or elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 which do not reflect the low CO2 environment under which C4 photosynthesis has evolved. Accordingly, photosynthetic nitrogen (PNUE) and water (PWUE) use efficiency, and the activity of the photosynthetic carboxylases [Rubisco and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC)] and decarb...
متن کاملThe functional anatomy of rice leaves: implications for refixation of photorespiratory CO2 and efforts to engineer C4 photosynthesis into rice.
One mechanism to enhance global food stocks radically is to introduce C4 photosynthesis into C3 crops from warm climates, notably rice. To accomplish this, an understanding of leaf structure and function is essential. The chlorenchyma structure of rice and related warm-climate C3 grasses is distinct from that of cool temperate C3 grasses. In temperate C3 grasses, vacuoles occupy the majority of...
متن کاملFire ecology of C3 and C4 grasses depends on evolutionary history and frequency of burning but not photosynthetic type.
Grasses using the C4 photosynthetic pathway dominate frequently burned savannas, where the pathway is hypothesized to be adaptive. However, independent C4 lineages also sort among different fire environments. Adaptations to fire may thus depend on evolutionary history, which could be as important as the possession of the C4 photosynthetic pathway for life in these environments. Here, using a co...
