* Despite PPDK having a clear role in the C₄ cycle that was first described in the 1968, its role in C₃ species had never been defined. We show that it functions in nitrogen cycling during senescence in C₃ plants.

** This is a system that allows chloroplasts from specific cells to be isolated.

*** Our first thoughts on why Cleome and Arabidopsis might be an interesting system to study C₄ photosynthesis.
