Key messageA comparative analysis of the genusFlaveriashowed a C4evolutionary process in which the anatomical and metabolic features of C4photosynthesis were gradually acquired through C3–C4intermediate stages.AbstractC4photosynthesis has been acquired in multiple lineages of angiosperms during evolution to suppress photorespiration. Crops that perform C4photosynthesis exhibit high rates of CO2assimilation and high grain production even under high-temperature in semiarid environments; therefore, engineering C4photosynthesis in C3plants is of great importance in the application field. The genusFlaveriacontains a large number of C3, C3–C4intermediate, C4-like, and C4species, making it a good model genus to study the evolution of C4photosynthesis, and these studies indicate the direction for C4engineering. C4photosynthesis was acquired gradually through the C3–C4intermediate stage. First, a two-celled C2cycle called C2photosynthesis was acquired by localizing glycine decarboxylase activity in the mitochondria of bundle sheath cells. With the development of two-cell metabolism, anatomical features also changed. Next, the replacement of the two-celled C2cycle by the two-celled C4cycle was induced by the acquisition of cell-selective expression in addition to the upregulation of enzymes in the C4cycle during the C3–C4intermediate stage. This was supported by an increase in cyclic electron transport activity in response to an increase in the ATP/NADPH demand for metabolism. Suppression of the C3cycle in mesophyll cells was induced after the functional establishment of the C4cycle, and optimization of electron transport by suppressing the activity of photosystem II also occurred during the final phase of C4evolution.
