Compartmentation of photosynthesis gene expression between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells of C4 maize is dependent on time of day

New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.04.21.537465 Abstract Compared with the ancestral C3 state, C4 photosynthesis enables higher rates of photosynthesis as well as improved water and nitrogen use efficiencies. In both C3 and C4 plants rates of photosynthesis increase with light intensity and so are maximal around midday. We report that in the absence of light or temperature fluctuations, photosynthesis in maize peaks in the middle of the subjective photoperiod.
