报告题目：C₄光合作用的细胞分工特异调控

报告摘要：

C₄代表着陆地上一类高生产力植物，这归因于其相比C₃植物祖先更高的光、水和氮利用效率，以及叶肉细胞与维管束鞘细胞之间的特异协同作用。细胞分工促进了碳浓缩机制，提高了光合作用效率。C₄光合酶基因已存在于C₃植物中，所以其在C₄植物中的细胞差异性表达是核心。报告将基于研究组近期的玉米（单细胞）多组学成果，探讨转录因子在C₄植物不同细胞中的作用及其对高效光合作用的影响，揭示细胞间基因表达差异背后的分子调控机制。

TITLE： 

Cell-Specific Regulatory Dynamics underlying C₄ Photosynthesis

ABSTRACT：

C₄ plants epitomize a category of terrestrial flora renowned for their superior efficiency in utilizing light, water, and nitrogen relative to their C₃ counterparts, a trait further amplified by the compartmentation between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. This cellular differentiation significantly bolsters the carbon concentration mechanism, thereby enhancing photosynthetic productivity. Intriguingly, the genes encoding C₄ photosynthetic enzymes, though inherent in their C₃ ancestors, assume pivotal importance in C₄ plants due to their distinct expression patterns. This talk will delve into our group's latest maize (single-cell) multi-omics study, scrutinizing the role of transcription factors in the distinct cellular environments of C₄ plants. It aims to discuss the impact of these factors on photosynthetic efficiency, exploring the underlying genetic and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms that govern the variances in gene expression across different cell types.
