Review by Xinyou Yin of @CSA_WUR, with @SvonCaemmerer , @TomSharkeyMSU and @FlorianABusch on the FvCB model and extensions over the past 40 years! @WURplant @wileyplantsci @PlantCellEnvir
We're 40 years on from the landmark model by Farquhar, von Caemmerer & Berry on steady-state C3 photosynthesis.
This review highlights three major developments of the model.

If you were puzzled by variations of PSII abundance and activity in C4 bundle sheath cells, in our new paper we propose a regulatory mechanism explaining the differences reported between growth conditions, NADP-ME species and C4 subtypes doi.org/10.1111/tpj.15247 @leaf2field

All life on Earth is based on photosynthesis. Researchers are studying photosynthesis with the aim of increasing the yield of important food crops to address global food shortages. Via @leaf2field 🌱 ow.ly/Wtsv50EGVYA
Happy Fascination of Plants Day! Plants are not only awesome but crucial for our lives. Watch how @leaf2field researchers have been improving #photosynthesis to increase global food security and crop resilience to climate change @ScienceAcademy @PlantDay18May.

Our new preprint! This is the first C4 aquaporin shown to be a functional CO2 pore in vivo. When expressed in mesophyll cells, it enhances mesophyll conductance and increases the initial slope of ACi curve @SvonCaemmerer @RobertSharwood @bobfurbank @leaf2field @BiologyANU
