C3和C4植物光合途径的适应性变化和进化

高等植物大多为C₃植物, C₄植物和景天酸代谢(Crassulacean acid metabolism, CAM)植物是由C₃植物进化而来的。C₄途径的多源进化表明, 光合途径由C₃途径向C₄途径的转变相对简单。该文分析研究了植物光合途径的进化前景, 指出C₄植物是从C₃植物进化而来的高光效种类, 且地质时期以来降低的大气CO₂浓度和升高的大气温度以及干旱和盐渍化是C₄途径进化的外部动力。C₃植物的C₄途径的发现说明植物的光合途径并非是一成不变的, C₃和C₄植物的光合特征具有极大的可塑性, 某些环境的变化会引起植物光合途径在C₃和C₄途径之间转变。C₃植物具有的C₄途径是环境调控的产物, 是对逆境的适应性进化结果, 因而光合途径的转变也适用于干旱地区植被的适应性生存机理研究。该文还利用国外最新的C₄光合进化模型介绍了植物在进化C₄途径中所经历的7个重要时期(从分子基础到形态基础、结构基础, 再到物质代谢水平、光合酶活水平, 直到C₃和C₄途径协调运转时期, 最后达到形态与功能最优化阶段), 并结合全球气候变化的特点对国内外相关领域的研究进行了分析, 总结了植物光合途径的适应性转变和进化的研究成果, 为今后的相关工作提出建议。

C4-derived soil organic carbon decomposes faster than its C3 counterpart in mixed C3/C4 soils

The large difference in the degree of discrimination of stable carbon isotopes between C3 and C4 plants is widely exploited in global change and carbon cycle research, often with the assumption that carbon retains the carbon isotopic signature of its photosynthetic pathway during later stages of decomposition in soil and sediments. We applied long-term incubation experiments and natural ¹³C-labelling of C3 and C4-derived soil organic carbon (SOC) collected from across major environmental gradients in Australia to elucidate a significant difference in the rate of decomposition of C3- and C4-derived SOC. We find that the active pool of SOC (ASOC) derived from C4 plants decomposes at over twice the rate of the total pool of ASOC. As a result, the proportion of C4 photosynthesis represented in the heterotrophic CO₂ flux from soil must be over twice the proportional representation of C4-derived biomass in SOC. This observation has significant implications for much carbon cycle research that exploits the carbon isotopic difference in these two photosynthetic pathways.     

Evolution of C4 photosynthetic genes and overexpression of maize C4 genes in rice

C3 plants including many agronomically important crops exhibit a lower photosynthetic efficiency due to inhibition of photosynthesis by O₂ and the associated photorespiration. C4 plants had evolved the C4 pathway to overcome low CO₂ and photorespiration. This review first focuses on the generation of a system for high level expression of the C4-specific gene for pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase (Pdk), one of the key enzyme in C4 photosynthesis. Based on the results with transgenic rice plants, we have demonstrated that the regulatory system controlling thePdk expression in maize is not unique to C4 plants but rice (C3 plant) posses a similar system. Second, we discussed the possibility of the high level expression of maize C4-specific genes in transgenic rice plants. Introduction of the maize intact phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene (Ppc) caused 30–100 fold higher PEPC activities than non-transgenic rice. These results demonstrated that intact C4-type genes are available for high level expression of C4 enzymes in rice plants.

Hydrogen isotopic differences between C3 and C4 land plant lipids: consequences of compartmentation in C4 photosynthetic chemistry and C3 photorespiration

The ²H/¹H ratio of carbon‐bound H in biolipids holds potential for probing plant lipid biosynthesis and metabolism. The biochemical mechanism underlying the isotopic differences between lipids from C₃ and C₄ plants is still poorly understood. GC‐pyrolysis‐IRMS (gas chromatography‐pyrolysis‐isotope ratio mass spectrometry) measurement of the ²H/¹H ratio of leaf lipids from controlled and field grown plants indicates that the biochemical isotopic fractionation (ε²H_{lipid_biochem}) differed between C₃ and C₄ plants in a pathway‐dependent manner: ε²H_C4 > ε²H_C3 for the acetogenic pathway, ε²H_C4 < ε²H_C3 for the mevalonic acid pathway and the 1‐deoxy‐D‐xylulose 5‐phosphate pathway across all species examined. It is proposed that compartmentation of photosynthetic CO₂ fixation into C₄ mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells and suppression of photorespiration in C₄ M and BS cells both result in C₄ M chloroplastic pyruvate – the precursor for acetogenic pathway – being more depleted in ²H relative to pyruvate in C₃ cells. In addition, compartmentation in C₄ plants also results in (i) the transferable H of NADPH being enriched in ²H in C₄ M chloroplasts compared with that in C₃ chloroplasts for the 1‐deoxy‐D‐xylulose 5‐phosphate pathway pathway and (ii) pyruvate relatively ²H‐enriched being used for the mevalonic acid pathway in the cytosol of BS cells in comparison with that in C₃ cells.

Molecular evolution and genetic engineering of C4 photosynthetic enzymes

The majority of terrestrial plants, including many important crops such as rice, wheat, soybean, and potato, are classified as C(3) plants that assimilate atmospheric CO(2) directly through the C(3) photosynthetic pathway. C(4) plants, such as maize and sugarcane, evolved from C(3) plants, acquiring the C(4) photosynthetic pathway in addition to the C(3) pathway to achieve high photosynthetic performance and high water- and nitrogen-use efficiencies. Consequently, the transfer of C(4) traits to C(3) plants is one strategy being adopted for improving the photosynthetic performance of C(3) plants. The recent application of recombinant DNA technology has made considerable progress in the molecular engineering of photosynthetic genes in the past ten years. It has deepened understanding of the evolutionary scenario of the C(4) photosynthetic genes. The strategy, based on the evolutionary scenario, has enabled enzymes involved in the C(4) pathway to be expressed at high levels and in desired locations in the leaves of C(3) plants. Although overproduction of a single C(4) enzyme can alter the carbon metabolism of C(3) plants, it does not show any positive effects on photosynthesis. Transgenic C(3) plants overproducing multiple enzymes are now being produced for improving the photosynthetic performance of C(3) plants.     

The acclimation of photosynthesis and respiration to temperature in the C3–C4 intermediate Salsola divaricata: induction of high respiratory CO2 release under low temperature

Photosynthesis in C₃–C₄ intermediates reduces carbon loss by photorespiration through refixing photorespired CO₂ within bundle sheath cells. This is beneficial under warm temperatures where rates of photorespiration are high; however, it is unknown how photosynthesis in C₃–C₄ plants acclimates to growth under cold conditions. Therefore, the cold tolerance of the C₃–C₄ Salsola divaricata was tested to determine whether it reverts to C₃ photosynthesis when grown under low temperatures. Plants were grown under cold (15/10 °C), moderate (25/18 °C) or hot (35/25 °C) day/night temperatures and analysed to determine how photosynthesis, respiration and C₃–C₄ features acclimate to these growth conditions. The CO₂ compensation point and net rates of CO₂ assimilation in cold‐grown plants changed dramatically when measured in response to temperature. However, this was not due to the loss of C₃–C₄ intermediacy, but rather to a large increase in mitochondrial respiration supported primarily by the non‐phosphorylating alternative oxidative pathway (AOP) and, to a lesser degree, the cytochrome oxidative pathway (COP). The increase in respiration and AOP capacity in cold‐grown plants likely protects against reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria and photodamage in chloroplasts by consuming excess reductant via the alternative mitochondrial respiratory electron transport chain.
