DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiaf327
Abstract: Abstract C4 photosynthesis concentrates CO2 around Rubisco, thereby decreasing photorespiration and leading to greater productivity. C4 photosynthesis evolved several times independently in different plant families including monocots and dicots. Besides changes in carbon fixation, C4… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3003280
Abstract: Plants encounter natural antagonist threats of varying intensity and respond by activating multiple defense traits. Due to the fitness costs associated with producing defense traits, plants are expected to activate less costly traits first, reserving… read more here.
