Popis: We have isolated and characterized cDNA clones for the leaf-specific C 4 -phosphoenolpyruvate car☐ylase (PEPCase) from the dicotyledonous C 4 plant Flaveria trinervia . The isolation of multiple cDNAs indicates that in this plant the C 4 isoform is encoded by a small subgroup of the PEPCase gene family. The deduced amino acid sequence reveals a higher degree of similarity to the CAM and C 3 isozymes of the dicotyledonous, facultative CAM plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum than to the C 4 PEPCases of monacotyledonous origin.
