Show abstract
Many of the worlds most productive food and bioenergy crops use C4 photosynthesis, which have high photosynthetic efficiency due to a Kranz anatomy-based CO2 concentrating mechanism. Here, we took a comparative transcriptomics approach using single cell spatial transcriptomes of leaf primordia for maize (Zea mays) and single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) atlases of corresponding leaf tissues for three C4 species (Zea mays, Sorghum bicolor, Setaria viridis) and one C3 rice (Oryza sativa) to study regulatory networks involved in the development and evolution of Kranz anatomy. We show that the formation of Kranz anatomy involves extensive recruitment and modification of pre-existing regulatory modules, especially the SHR-SCR module and the auxin signaling pathway. Members of the INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) family transcription factors, including IDD7 and IDDP1, contribute to the modification of the involved modules. These extensive recruitment and modification of existing genetic regulatory programs underlie the repeated emergence of C4 photosynthesis during evolution.
