This project explores the evolutionary history of carbon concentrating mechanisms in plants, particularly C4 and CAM photosynthesis. It aims to understand the genetic changes and ecological factors influencing these adaptations across different plant groups.
Several carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM) have evolved to counteract the deficiencies of the classical photosynthetic pathway (C3 photosynthesis).
Their multiple origins represent one of the most striking examples of convergent evolution and make them especially suitable for comparative evolutionary studies.
In land plants, the two main CCM are CAM and C4 photosynthesis, which confer an advantage in arid and warm environments.
These CCM are ecologically and economically very important, but t…
