Identification and evolution of C4 photosynthetic pathway genes in plants.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Protein synthesis is a highly energy demanding process and is regulated according to cellular energy levels. Light and sugar availability affect mRNA translation in plant cells but the specific roles of these factors remain unclear. In this study, sucrose was applied to Arabidopsis seedlings kept in the ligh...
