While plants like rice continued using an old form of photosynthesis known as C3, others like corn and sorghum developed a ...

Metabolic pathways of C3 and C4 plants. (Credit: Williams et al., 2013) ... C4 plants are quite recent, so they could plausibly just not have had time to spread into all relevent niches.

While 95% of plants use C3 photosynthesis, SciTechDaily explained, a new group of plants evolved to use C4 photosynthesis around 30 million years ago. C3 gets the job done, but it has flaws.

Ancient bones reveal how early Iberian people managed livestock. A new study shows two distinct herds: some grazed freely, ...

C3 plants include cereals (wheat and rice), cotton, potatoes and soybeans. This process is named for the three-carbon compound 3-PGA that it uses during the Calvin cycle. C4 photosynthesis ...

"The difference between C3 and C4 plants, like rice and maize, is not different genes. They haven't evolved into different genes.

While plants such as rice continued using an older form of photosynthesis known as C3, others — including corn and sorghum — evolved to use a newer, more efficient version called C4. There are now ...
