PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Environmental effects on photosynthesis of species with the C3-C4 intermediate photosynthetic pathway

Plant species that perform C3-C4 intermediate photosynthesis represent evolutionary steps between the most extended C3 plants and the highly efficient species that fix CO2 through the C4 pathway.

This project is open to Honours students
