Around 95% of plants use C3 photosynthesis, in which mesophyll cells turn light, water, and carbon dioxide into plant-powering sugars.

C4 plants evolved around 30 million years ago with a newer, better way to photosynthesize.

Salk scientists used cutting-edge, single-cell genomics technology to look at the difference between C3 rice and C4 sorghum plants.

Next on the docket for the team is determining whether rice can be engineered to use C4 photosynthesis rather than C3.

This remains a very long-term goal with significant technical challenges that are being addressed by a global collaborative effort known as the "C4 Rice Project" .
