Efficient carbon capture by plants is crucial to meet the increasing demands for food, fiber, feed, and fuel worldwide. One potential strategy improve photosynthetic performance of conversion C3-type crops C4-type crops, enabling them perform photosynthesis at higher temperatures with less water. such as corn, possess a distinct Kranz anatomy, where occurs in two cell types. Remarkably, Bienertia sinuspersici one four known land plant species that C4 within single cell. This unique single-cell (SCC4) anatomy characterized dimorphic chloroplasts corresponding intracellular biochemistry. Because young, emergent leaves first exhibit C3anatomy then differentiate into mature, represents an excellent system explore basis C3 transition. To gain insight genes pathways associated transition between emerging young mature leaves, comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted which global gene expression ontologies were compared stages. In leaf, differentially expressed enrichment cycle cytoskeletal dynamics observed, while leaf displayed processes cellular energetics. Additionally, numerous transcription factors (TFs) metabolic homeostasis, hormone stress signaling, developmental regulation throughout development, TF profiles each stage. These data expand our insights molecular Binertia's compartmentalization, chloroplast dimorphism, biochemistry provide information will be useful ongoing efforts transform type.
