The 13 pages that link to C3 carbon fixation, each with the reason it gives.

• PhotosynthesisBroader topic: It is the predominant pathway in plants and a target for improving crop productivity.

• ChloroplastRelated: Most plant chloroplasts use this pathway, whose efficiency falls when photorespiration increases.

• C4 carbon fixationCompared with: Unlike C4 plants, C3 plants lack a preliminary carbon-concentrating cycle.

• StomataRelated: Stomatal carbon dioxide supply limits this pathway, especially during drought.

• PoaceaeRelated: Many grasses use this pathway, while other grass lineages evolved C4 photosynthesis.

• Crassulacean acid metabolismNarrower topic: CAM modifies this pathway by supplying the Calvin cycle with carbon dioxide stored overnight.

• CAM photosynthesisCompared with: Unlike CAM, C3 plants generally take up carbon dioxide during daylight.

• PhotorespirationBroader topic: Photorespiration is especially consequential in plants relying on this mode of carbon fixation.

• PineappleCompared with: Most familiar fruit crops use C3 photosynthesis, while pineapple relies on CAM.

• Melvin CalvinBroader topic: Calvin’s pathway describes the core carbon-fixation reactions in C3 plants.

• Mesophyll cellsRelated: Most mesophyll cells fix carbon through this pathway, which is vulnerable to photorespiration.

• Plant metabolismBroader topic: It is the dominant route in plants and a major target for improving photosynthetic efficiency.

• Plant Physiological PhenomenaBroader topic: It is the predominant pathway, but its performance declines when photorespiration is substantial.
