This plant uses C4 carbon fixation as its method of energy metabolism.

Some plants have resolved this problem by adopting crassulacean acid metabolism or C4 carbon fixation.

One such research area involves increasing the Earth's proportion of C4 carbon fixation photosynthetic plants.

They use the C4 carbon fixation pathway to take in carbon dioxide from the surrounding atmosphere.

It and other Hawaiian euphorbs perform C4 carbon fixation.

This plant exhibits C4 carbon fixation.

In C4 carbon fixation plants, carbon dioxide is drawn out of malate and into this reaction rather than directly from the air.

C4 carbon fixation evolved to circumvent photorespiration, but can occur only in certain plants living in very warm or tropical climates.

Because Muhlenbergia rigens uses C4 carbon fixation, it gains an advantage in conditions of drought and high temperature.

By comparison, C4 carbon fixation via PEP carboxylase is more efficient.

In the C4 carbon fixation process, malate is a source of CO in the Calvin cycle.

In C4 carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is first fixed by combination with phosphoenolpyruvate to form oxaloacetate in the mesophyll.

The three photosynthesis pathways are C3 carbon fixation, C4 carbon fixation and Crassulacean acid metabolism.

'Sodium' :Sodium is involved in the regeneration of phosphoenolpyruvate in Crassulacean acid metabolism and C4 carbon fixation plants.

Most of the grasses divide into two physiological groups, using the C3 carbon fixation and C4 carbon fixation photosynthetic pathways for carbon fixation.

Three types of photosynthesis occur in plants, C3 carbon fixation, C4 carbon fixation and CAM photosynthesis.

Drought tolerant plants typically make use of either C4 carbon fixation or crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to fix carbon during photosynthesis.

It is a species of botanical interest for being an alpine plant utilizing C4 carbon fixation, reported at higher altitudes than any other C4 plant in North America.

The ratio of C to C is slightly higher in plants employing C4 carbon fixation than in plants employing C3 carbon fixation.

Cane uses C4 carbon fixation, and beet C3 carbon fixation, resulting in a different ratio of C and C isotopes in the sucrose.

In 2008 he was named by Nature as one of "Five crop researchers who could change the world" for his research that is attempting to replace C3 carbon fixation in rice with C4 carbon fixation.

Some plants, many algae, and photosynthetic bacteria have overcome this limitation by devising means to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide around the enzyme, including C4 carbon fixation, crassulacean acid metabolism and using pyrenoid.

As well, because of this expected warm, dry climate, plants that exhibit C4 carbon fixation will become more competitive than plants that display C3 carbon fixation, and will likely become dominant in the future.

As a C4 plant (a plant that uses C4 carbon fixation), maize is a considerably more water-efficient crop than C3 plants (plants that use C3 carbon fixation) like the small grains, alfalfa and soybeans.

PEPCK acts in plants that undergo C4 carbon fixation, where its action has been localized to the cytosol, in contrast to mammals, where it has been found that PEPCK works in mitochondria.
