"description": "Constraint-based modelling (CBM) is a powerful tool for the analysis of evolutionary trajectories. Evolution, especially evolution in the distant past, is not easily accessible to laboratory experimentation. Modelling can provide a window into evolutionary processes by allowing the examination of selective pressures which lead to particular optimal solutions in the model. To study the evolution of C4 photosynthesis from a ground state of C3 photosynthesis, we initially construct a C3 model. After duplication into two cells to reflect typical C4 leaf architecture, we allow the model to predict the optimal metabolic solution under various conditions. The model thus identifies resource limitation in conjunction with high photorespiratory flux as a selective pressure relevant to the evolution of C4. It also predicts that light availability and distribution play a role in guiding the evolutionary choice of possible decarboxylation enzymes. The data shows evolutionary CBM in eukaryotes predicts molecular evolution with precision.",

"# Introduction\n",
"\n",
"Identifying specific evolutionary trajectories and modelling the outcome of adaptive strategies at the molecular levels is a major challenge in evolutionary systems biology @bib55. The evolution of novel metabolic pathways from existing parts may be predicted using constraint-based modelling (CBM) @bib52. In CBM, selective pressures are coded via the objective functions for which the model is optimised. The factors which constrain evolution are integrated into the models via changes in model inputs or outputs and via flux constraints. We hypothesised that the evolution of the agriculturally important trait of C4 photosynthesis is accessible to CBM.\n",
"\n",
"C4 photosynthesis evolved independently in at least 67 independent origins in the plant kingdom @bib65 and it allows colonisation of marginal habitats @bib63 and high biomass production in annuals such as crops \\[@bib62; @bib23]. The C4 cycle acts as a biochemical pump which enriches the CO~2~ concentration at the site of Rubisco to overcome a major limitation of carbon fixation @bib62. Enrichment is beneficial because Rubisco, the carbon fixation enzyme, can react productively with CO~2~ and form two molecules of 3-PGA, but it also reacts with O~2~ and produces 2-phosphoglycolate which requires detoxification by photorespiration @bib51. The ratio between both reactions is determined by the enzyme specificity towards CO~2~, by the temperature, and the concentrations of both reactants, which in turn is modulated by stresses such as drought and pathogen load. Evolution of Rubisco itself is constrained since any increase in specificity is paid for by a reduction in speed @bib73. Lower speeds most likely cause maladaptivity since Rubisco is a comparatively slow enzyme and can comprise up to 50% of the total leaf protein @bib24. In the C4 cycle, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase affixes CO~2~ to a C3 acid, phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), forming a C4 acid, oxaloacetate (OAA). After stabilisation of the resulting C4 acid by reduction to malate or transamination to aspartate, it is transferred to the site of Rubisco and decarboxylated by one of three possible decarboxylation enzymes, NADP-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME), NAD-dependent malic enzyme (NAD-ME), or PEP carboxykinase (PEP-CK) \\[@bib30; @bib67]. Species such as corn (_Zea mays_) @bib57 and great millet (_Sorghum bicolor_) @bib20 use NADP-ME, species like common millet (_Panicum miliaceum_) @bib30 and African spinach (_Gynandropsis gynandra_) \\[@bib25; @bib82] use NAD-ME and species such as guinea grass (_Panicum maximum_) @bib12 use mainly PEP-CK with the evolutionary constraints leading to one or the other enzyme unknown. Mixed forms are only known to occur between a malic enzyme and PEP-CK but not between both malic enzymes @bib83. After decarboxylation, the C3 acid diffuses back to the site of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and is recycled for another C4 cycle by pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) \\[@bib30; @bib67]. All the enzymes involved in the C4 cycle are also present in C3 plants @bib4. In its most typical form, this C4 cycle is distributed between different cell types in a leaf in an arrangement called Kranz anatomy @bib29. Initial carbon fixation by PEPC occurs in the mesophyll cell, the outer layer of photosynthetic tissue. The secondary fixation by Rubisco after decarboxylation occurs in an inner layer of photosynthetic tissue, the bundle sheath which in turn surrounds the veins. Both cells are connected by plasmodesmata which are pores with limited transfer specificity between cells. A model which may test possible carbon fixation pathways at the molecular level thus requires two cell architectures connected by transport processes @bib15.\n",
"\n",
"CBM of genome-scale or close to it are well suited to study evolution (summarised in @bib55). Evolution of different metabolic modes from a ground state, the metabolism of _Escherichia coli_, such as glycerol usage @bib39 or endosymbiotic metabolism @bib54 have been successfully predicted. Metabolic maps of eukaryotic metabolism are of higher complexity compared to bacteria since they require information about intracellular compartmentation and intracellular transport @bib21 and may require multicellular approaches. In plants, aspects of complex metabolic pathways, such as the energetics of CAM photosynthesis @bib17, and fluxes in C3 and C4 metabolism \\[@bib11; @bib28; @bib19; @bib2; @bib64] have been elucidated with genome scale models. The C4 cycle is not predicted by these current C4 models unless the C4 cycle is forced by constraints \\[@bib28; @bib47]. In the C4GEM model, the fluxes representing the C4 cycle are a priori constrained to the cell types @bib28, and in the Mallmann model, the C4 fluxes are induced by activating flux through PEPC @bib47. Models in which specific a priori constraints activated C4 were successfully used to study metabolism under conditions of photosynthesis, photorespiration, and respiration @bib64 and to study N-assimilation under varying conditions @bib71. However, they are incapable of testing under which conditions the pathway may evolve.\n",
"\n",
"Schematic models suggest that the C4 cycle evolves from its ancestral metabolic state C3 photosynthesis along a sequence of stages (summarised in @bib62; @bib14). In the presence of tight vein spacing and of photosynthetically active bundle sheath cells (i.e. Kranz anatomy), a key intermediate in which the process of photorespiration is divided between cell types is thought to evolve \\[@bib48; @bib63; @bib31; @bib6]. The metabolic fluxes in this intermediate suggest an immediate path towards C4 photosynthesis \\[@bib47; @bib14]. @bib31 built a kinetic model in which the complex C4 cycle was represented by a single enzyme, PEPC. Assuming carbon assimilation as a proxy for fitness, the model showed that the evolution from a C3 progenitor species with Kranz-type anatomy towards C4 photosynthesis occurs in modular, individually adaptive steps on a Mount Fuji fitness landscape. It is frequently assumed that evolution of C4 photosynthesis requires water limitation \\[@bib14; @bib31; @bib47]. However, ecophysiological research showed that C4 can likely evolve in wet habitats \\[@bib53; @bib44]. CBM presents a possible avenue to study the evolution of C4 photosynthesis including its metabolic complexity _in silico_.\n",
"\n",
"In this study, we establish a generic two-celled, constraint-based model starting from the _Arabidopsis_ core model @bib2. We test under which conditions and constraints C4 photosynthesis is predicted as the optimal solution. Finally, we test which constraints result in the prediction of the particular C4 modes with their different decarboxylation enzymes. In the process, we demonstrate that evolution is predictable at the molecular level in an eukaryotic system and define the selective pressures and limitations guiding the 'choice' of metabolic flux.\n",
"\n",
"# Results\n",
"\n",
"## The curated _Arabidopsis_ core model predicts physiological results\n",
"\n",
"Flux balance analysis requires five types of information, the metabolic map of the organism, the input, the output, a set of constraints (i.e. limitations on input, directionality of reactions, forced flux through reactions), and optimisation criteria for the algorithm which approximate the selective pressures the metabolism evolved under. In this context, inputs define the resources that need to be taken up by the metabolic network to fulfil a particular metabolic function, which is related to the outputs, for example the synthesis of metabolites part of the biomass or other specific products. In CBM, the objective is most likely related to the in- and/or outputs.\n",
"\n",
"For reconstruction of the C3 metabolic map we curated the _Arabidopsis_ core model @bib2 manually ([Table 1](#table1)) to represent the metabolism of a mesophyll cell in a mature photosynthetically active leaf of a C3 plant , further on called _one-cell_ model (provided in [Figure 1—source data 1](#fig1sdata1)). The _Arabidopsis_ core model is a bottom-up-assembled, large-scale model relying solely on _Arabidopsis_-specific annotations and the inclusion of only manually curated reactions of the primary metabolism. The _Arabidopsis_ core model is accurate with respect to mass and energy conservation, allowing optimal nutrient utilisation and biochemically sound predictions @bib2.\n",

"For the inputs, we considered a photoautotrophic growth scenario with a fixed CO~2~ uptake of about 20 μmol/(m^2^s) @bib37. Light, sulphates, and phosphate are freely available. Due to the observation that nitrate is the main source (80%) of nitrogen in leaves in many species @bib45, we set nitrate as the sole nitrogen source. If both ammonia and nitrate are allowed, the model will inevitably predict the physiologically incorrect sole use of ammonia since fewer reactions and less energy are required to convert it into glutamate, the universal amino group currency in plants. Water and oxygen can be freely exchanged with the environment in both directions.\n",
"\n",
"To compute the output, we assume a mature fully differentiated and photosynthetically active leaf, which is optimised for the synthesis and export of sucrose and amino acids to the phloem under minimal metabolic effort. Following the examples of models in bacteria, many plant models use a biomass function which assumes that the leaf is required to build itself \\[@bib19; @bib2; @bib64] using photoautotrophic that is @bib2 or heterotrophic that is @bib17 energy and molecule supply. In plants, however, leaves transition from a sink phase in which they build themselves from metabolites delivered by the phloem to a source phase in which they produce metabolites for other organs including sink leaves @bib78. The composition of _Arabidopsis_ phloem exudate @bib85 was used to constrain the relative proportions of the 18 amino acids and the ratio of sucrose : total amino acids (2.2 : 1). To account for daily carbon storage as starch for export during the night, we assume that half of the assimilated carbon is stored in the _one-cell_ model. We explicitly account for maintenance costs by the use of a generic ATPase and use the measured ATP costs for protein degradation and synthesis of a mature _Arabidopsis_ leaf @bib40 as a constraint. We initially assume a low photorespiratory flux according to the ambient CO~2~ and O~2~ partial pressures considering no heat, drought, salt or osmotic stress which may alter the ratio towards higher flux towards the oxygenation reaction.\n",
"\n",
"To develop a largely unconstrained model and detect possible errors in the metabolic map, we initially kept the model unconstrained with regard to fixed fluxes, flux ratios, and reaction directions. Different model iterations were run in (re-)design, simulate, validate cycles against known physiology with errors sequentially eliminated and a minimal set of constraints required for a C3 model recapitulating extant plant metabolism determined. After each change, the CBM predicted all fluxes which were output as a table and manually examined (for example see [Figure 1—source data 2](#fig1sdata2)).\n",
"\n",
"The initial FBA resulted in carbon fixation by enzymes such as the malic enzymes which, in reality, are constrained by the kinetics of the enzymes towards decarboxylation. All decarboxylation reactions were made unidirectional towards decarboxylation to prevent erroneous carbon fixation in the flux distribution. The next iteration of FBA predicted loops through nitrate reductases which ultimately converted NADH to NADPH. We traced this loop to an error in the initial model, in which malate dehydrogenases in the cytosol and mitochondrion were NADP-dependent instead of NAD-dependent. After correction of the co-factor in the _one-cell_ model, the loops through nitrate reductases were no longer observed. Another iteration predicted excessive flux through the mitochondrial membrane where multiple metabolites were exchanged and identified missing transport processes as the likely reason. Based on @bib42, we added known fluxes across the mitochondrial and plastidic envelope membranes which remedied the excessive fluxes in the solution. The chloroplastic ADP/ATP carrier protein is constrained to zero flux since its mutant is only affected during the night but not if light is available @bib59.\n",
"\n",
"The obtained flux distribution still contained excessive fluxes through multiple transport proteins across internal membranes which ultimately transferred protons between the organelles and the cytosol. Since for most if not all transport proteins the precise protonation state of metabolites during transport is unknown and hence cannot be correctly integrated into the model, we allowed protons to appear and disappear as needed in all compartments. This provision precludes conclusions about the energetics of membrane transport. ATP generation occurred in a distorted way distributed across different organelles which were traced to the H^+^ consumption of the ATPases in mitochondria and chloroplasts. The stoichiometry was altered to to 3:1 (chloroplast) and 4:1 (mitochondria) \\[@bib56; @bib79]. We assume no flux for the chloroplastic NADPH dehydrogenase and plastoquinol oxidase because \\[@bib33; @bib88] have shown that their effect on photosynthesis is minor.\n",
"\n",
"In preparation for modelling the C4 cycle, we ensured that all reactions known to occur in C4 (i.e. malate/pyruvate exchange, likely via DiT2 in maize \\[@bib84], possibly promiscuous amino transferases \\[@bib22]) are present in the _one-cell_ model, since @bib4 showed that all genes encoding enzymes and transporters underlying the C4 metabolism are already present in the genome of C3 plants. We integrated cyclic electron flow @bib70 and alternative oxidases in the mitochondria @bib81, since both have been hypothesised to be important during the evolution and/or execution of the C4 cycle.

"The CO~2~ uptake rate and the phloem sap output have a positive linear relationship, see [Figure 1—figure supplement 1(A)](#fig1s1). The same is true for the correlation of the PPFD and phloem sap output in the range of 100 μmol/(m^2^s)–200 μmol/(m^2^s), see [Figure 1—figure supplement 1(B)](#fig1s1). Above 200 μmol/(m^2^s), the CO~2~ uptake rate acts as a limiting factor restricting the increase of phloem sap production. If either the PPFD or the CO~2~ uptake rate is zero, the phloem sap cannot be produced, compare [Figure 1—figure supplement 1(A) and (B)](#fig1s1). Most of the metabolic processes use ATP/ADP as main energy equivalent (60%), followed by NADP/NADPH (37.5%) and NAD/NADH (2.4%), see [Figure 1—figure supplement 2(D)](#fig1s2). Nearly all ATP is produced by the light reactions (97.2%) and consumed by the reductive pentose phosphate cycle (94.1%), see [Figure 1—figure supplement 2(A)](#fig1s2). The oxidative phosphorylation produces only (1%) of ATP. In proportion, the maintenance cost for protein synthesis and degradation makeup 28% of the respiratory ATP produced by the oxidative phosphorylation ([Figure 1—figure supplement 2(E)](#fig1s2)). Similarly, nearly all NADPH is produced by the light reaction (98.9%), which is consumed by the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle (98.3%) as well ([Figure 1—figure supplement 2(B)](#fig1s2)). The canonical glycolysis and photorespiration produce nearly equal amounts of NADH, 45% and 47.7%, significantly less NADH is produced through the pyruvate dehydrogenase activity 6.85%. Nitrate assimilation (45%), glutamate biosynthesis (47.7%), glyoxylate cycle (21.6%) and alternative respiration (11.8%) consume the produced NADH ([Figure 1—figure supplement 2(C)](#fig1s2)).\n",

"To rebuild the characteristic physiology of C4 leaves, we duplicated the _one-cell_ model and connected the two network copies by bi-directional transport of cytosolic metabolites including amino acids, sugars, single phosphorylated sugars, mono-/di-/tri-carboxylic acids, glyceric acids, glycolate, glycerate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, di-hydroxyacetone-phosphate and CO~2~, see Materials and methods for details. Since CBM is limited to static model analysis, we introduced two Rubisco populations in the bundle sheath network to approximate CO~2~ concentration-dependent changes in the oxygenation : carboxylation ratio of Rubisco (${v}_{RBO}/{v}_{RBC}$) itself. We kept the native constrained Rubisco population that is forced to undertake oxygenation reactions and added a CCM-dependent Rubisco population which can only carboxylate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate. The CCM-dependent Rubisco population is only able to use CO~2~ produced by the bundle sheath network but not environmental CO~2~ released by the mesophyll. C4 plants have a higher CO~2~ consumption and thus, an increased CO~2~ uptake of 40 μmol/(m^2^s) was allowed @bib38. All other constraints and the objective of the _one-cell_ model are maintained in the _two-cell_ model, see [Figure 2](#fig2).\n",

"Initially, we optimised for the classical objective function of minimal total flux through the metabolic network at different levels of photorespiration. These different levels of photorespiration integrate changes to external CO~2~ concentration and stomatal opening status which is governed by plant water status and biotic interactions. From the complete flux distribution, we extracted fluxes of PEPC and PPDK, the decarboxylation enzymes, Rubisco and metabolite transporter between the two cells to ascertain the presence of a C4 cycle, see [Figure 3](#fig3) and [Figure 3—figure supplement 1](#fig3s1). At low photorespiratory levels, flux through PEPC is barely detectable ([Figure 3(A)](#fig3)). If photorespiration increases to moderate levels, flux through PEPC can be predicted and increases to 40 μmol/(m^2^s), that is all CO~2~ is funnelled through PEPC, for high photorespiratory fluxes. Concomitant with flux through PEPC, the activity of the decarboxylation enzymes changes ([Figure 3(B)](#fig3)). At low to intermediate levels of photorespiratory flux, glycine decarboxylase complex activity is predicted to shuttle CO~2~ to the bundle sheath at up to 4.7 μmol/(m^2^s). Decarboxylation of C4 acids is initially mostly mediated by PEP-CK and is largely taken over by NADP-ME at high fluxes through photorespiration. Flux through NAD-ME is very low under all photorespiration levels. The decarboxylation enzymes dictate flux through the different Rubiscos in the model ([Figure 3(C)](#fig3)). At low photorespiratory flux, both the Rubiscos in mesophyll and bundle sheath are active. Only very little flux occurs through the CCM-dependent Rubisco, which is a result of the glycine decarboxylase ([Figure 3(B)](#fig3)). With increasing photorespiratory flux, this flux through glycine decarboxylase increases ([Figure 3(B)](#fig3)) and therefore, total Rubisco activity exceeds the carbon intake flux ([Figure 3(C)](#fig3)). Carbon fixation switches to the CCM-dependent Rubisco with increasing flux through PEPC ([Figure 3(A)](#fig3)) and the classic C4 cycle decarboxylation enzymes ([Figure 3(B)](#fig3)). Flux through PPDK mostly reflects flux through PEPC ([Figure 3(D)](#fig3)). The transport fluxes between the cells change with changing photosynthetic mode ([Figure 3(E and F)](#fig3)).\n",

In case of high photorespiratory rates, the exchange between mesophyll and bundle sheath is mainly carried by malate and pyruvate ([Figure 3(E) and (F)](#fig3)).

"Among the known independent evolutionary events leading to C4 photosynthesis, 20 are towards NAD-ME while 21 occurred towards NADP-ME @bib62. PEP-CK is dominant or at least co-dominant only in _Panicum maximum_ @bib12, _Alloteropsis semialata semialata_ @bib18, and in the _Chloridoideae_ @bib62. To analyse whether the predicted evolution of the C4 cycle is independent of a particular decarboxylation enzyme, we performed three separate experiments, where only one decarboxylation enzyme can be active at a time. The other decarboxylation enzymes were de-activated by constraining the reaction flux to zero resulting in three different predictions, one for each decarboxylation enzyme. The flux distributions obtained under the assumption of oxygenation : carboxylation ratio of 1 : 3 and minimisation of photorespiration as an additional objective predicts the emergence of a C4 cycle for each known decarboxylation enzyme. To visualise the possible C4 fluxes, the flux distribution for candidate C4 cycle enzymes was extracted from each of the three predictions and visualised as arc width and color ([Figure 4](#fig4)). While the flux distribution in the mesophyll is identical for three predicted C4 cycles of the decarboxylation enzymes, it is diverse in the bundle sheath due to the different localisation of the decarboxylation and related transport processes, see [Figure 4](#fig4). The flux distribution does not completely mimic the variation in transfer acids known from laboratory experiments @bib30 since all of the decarboxylation enzymes use the malate/pyruvate shuttle. In the case of NAD-ME and PEP-CK, the _two-cell_ model also predicts a supplementary flux through the aspartate/alanine shuttle. We tested whether transfer acids other than malate and pyruvate are feasible and explored the near-optimal space. To this end, the model predictions are repeated, allowing deviation from the optimal solution and the changes recorded. Deviations from the optimal solution are visualised as error bars ([Figure 5](#fig5)). Performing a flux variability analysis (FVA) and allowing the minimal total flux to differ by 1.5%, predicts that for most metabolites which are transferred between mesophyll and bundle sheath, the variability is similar for all three decarboxylation types. For the NAD-ME and PEP-CK types, changes in the near-optimal space were observed for the transfer acids malate, aspartate, pyruvate and alanine. Minor differences were present for triose phosphates and phosphoglycerates as well as for PEP. For the NADP-ME type, FVA identifies only minor variation ([Figure 5](#fig5)). In the case of NAD-ME but not in the case of NADP-ME the activity of the malate/pyruvate shuttle can be taken over by the aspartate/alanine shuttle and partly taken over in case of PEP-CK, see [Figure 5](#fig5). The aspartate/alanine shuttle is thus only a near-optimal solution when the model and by proxy evolutionary constraints are resource efficiency and minimal photorespiration.\n",

"To analyse the effect of other conditions on the particular C4 state, we apply the minimisation of photorespiration as an additional objective to minimal total flux. Since NAD-ME and PEP-CK type plants use amino acids as transfer acids in nature, nitrogen availability has been tagged as a possible evolutionary constraint that selects for decarboxylation by NAD-ME or PEP-CK. When nitrate uptake was limiting, the optimal solution to the model predicted overall reduced flux towards the phloem output ([Figure 6—figure supplement 1](#fig6s1)) but reactions were predicted to occur in the same proportions as predicted for unlimited nitrate uptake. Flux through NADP-ME and supplementary flux through PEP-CK dropped proportionally, since restricting nitrogen limits the export of all metabolites from the system and reduced CO~2~ uptake is observed ([Figure 6—figure supplement 1](#fig6s1)). Similarly, limiting water or CO~2~ uptake into the model resulted in overall reduced flux towards the phloem output ([Figure 6—figure supplement 1](#fig6s1)) but reactions were predicted to occur in the same proportions as predicted for unlimited uptake.\n",

"Given that C4 plants sometimes optimise light availability to the bundle sheath @bib8 we next explored light availability and light distribution. The model prediction is re-run with changes in the constraints, and the resulting tables of fluxes are queried for CO~2~ uptake and fluxes through the decarboxylation enzymes. In the experiment, we varied the total PPFD between 0 μmol/(m^2^s) to 1000 μmol/(m^2^s) and photon distribution in the range $0.1\\le PPF{D}_{B}$ / $PPF{D}_{M}\\le 2$, see [Figure 6](#fig6). Under light limitation, if the total PPFD is lower than 400 μmol/(m^2^s) , the CO~2~ uptake rate is reduced, leading to a decreased activity of the decarboxylation enzymes ([Figure 6(A)](#fig6)). PEP-CK is used in the optimal solutions active under light-limiting conditions ([Figure 6(B)](#fig6)). Under limiting light conditions, photon distribution with a higher proportion in the bundle sheath shifts decarboxylation towards NADP-ME but only to up to 26%. Under non-limiting conditions, the distribution of light availability determines the optimal decarboxylation enzyme. NADP-ME is the preferred decarboxylation enzyme with supplemental contributions by PEP-CK if light availability is near the threshold of 400 μmol/(m^2^s) or if at least twice as many photons are absorbed by the mesophyll. Excess light availability and a higher proportion of photons reaching the bundle sheath leads to optimal solutions which favour PEP-CK as the decarboxylation enzyme. In the case of very high light availability and an abrupt shift towards the bundle sheath, NAD-ME becomes the optimal solution ([Figure 6(B)](#fig6)). NAD-ME is the least favourable enzyme overall, only low activity is predicted under extreme light conditions, where the bundle sheath absorbs equal or more photons than the mesophyll ([Figure 6(B)](#fig6)). PEP-CK complements the activity of NADP-ME and NAD-ME to 100% in many conditions, meaning the _two-cell_ model also predicts the co-existence of PEP-CK/NADP-ME and PEP-CK/NAD-ME mode, while the flux distribution indicates no parallel use of NAD-ME and NADP-ME, compare [Figure 6(B)](#fig6).\n",

"## _One-cell_ model reflects C3 plant physiology\n",
"\n",
"To analyse evolution towards C4 photosynthesis based on C3 metabolism, a CBM of C3 metabolism is required ([Figure 1](#fig1)). Design, simulation, validation cycles used current knowledge about plant biochemistry @bib32 to identify possible errors in the metabolic map required for modelling. Even after error correction ([Table 1](#table1)), a significant problem remained, namely excessive fluxes to balance protons in all compartments. This observation leads to the realisation that the biochemical knowledge about transport reactions does not extend to the protonation state of the substrates, which affects all eukaryotic CBM efforts. In plants, predominantly export and vacuolar transport reactions are directly or indirectly coupled with proton gradients to energise transport \\[@bib16; @bib50]. For chloroplasts and mitochondria, proton-coupled transport reactions have been described but may couple different metabolite transporters together rather than energising them @bib26. Introducing proton sinks in all compartments solves the immediate modelling problem. However, intracellular transport reactions and their energetic costs are no longer correctly assessed by the model. Despite this band-aid fix which will be required for all eukaryotic constraint-based models which include proton-coupled transport reactions, the curated _one-cell_ model correctly predicts energy usage and its distribution ([Figure 1—figure supplement 2](#fig1s2) and @bib40). This indicates that in models which exclude vacuolar transport and energised export reactions, energy calculations remain likely within the correct order of magnitude. Overall, our _one-cell_ model operates within parameters expected for a C3 plant: The predicted PPFD lies within the range of light intensities used for normal growth condition of _Arabidopsis thaliana_, which varies between 100 μmol/(m^2^s)–200 μmol/(m^2^s), see [Table 2](#table2). The gross rate of O~2~ evolution for a PPFD of 200 μmol/(m^2^s) is estimated to be 16.5 μmol/(m^2^s) in the literature @bib75, which is in close proximity to the predicted flux of the _one-cell_ model, see [Table 2](#table2). For the amount of respiratory ATP that is used for maintenance, @bib40 predicted an even lower proportion of energy 16%, see [Figure 1—figure supplement 2](#fig1s2). The model’s flux map is in accordance with known C3 plant physiology @bib32, and its input and output parameters match expected values ([Figure 2(B)](#fig2)). The current model excludes specialised metabolism since the output function focuses solely on substances exported through the phloem in a mature leaf. If the model were to be used to study biotic interactions in the future, the addition of specialised metabolism in the metabolic map and a new output function would be required.\n",

"## The two-cell model predicts a C4 cycle if photorespiration is present\n",
"\n",
"Most evolutionary concepts about C4 photosynthesis assume that selective pressure drives pathway evolution due to photorespiration and carbon limitation @bib31. Most extant C4 species occupy dry and arid niches @bib23, even more, the period of C4 plant evolution was accompanied with an increased oxygen concentration in the atmosphere @bib62. Therefore, it is frequently assumed that carbon limitation by excessive photorespiration drives the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. Yet, in most habitats plants are limited by nutrients other than carbon \\[@bib1; @bib36]. Ecophysiological analyses also show that C4 can evolve in non-arid habitats \\[@bib43; @bib44; @bib53]. To resolve this apparent contradiction, we tested whether resource limitation may also lead to the evolution of a C4 cycle. We optimised the model approximating resource limitation via an objective function for total minimal flux at different photorespiratory levels. Indeed, with increasing photorespiration, the optimisation for resource efficiency leads to the emergence of the C4 cycle as the optimal solution. Balancing the resource cost of photorespiration against the resource cost of the C4 cycle, the model predicts that N limitation may have facilitated C4 evolution given high levels of photorespiration. Other possible selective pressures such as biotic interactions can currently not be tested using the model since specialised metabolism is not included in the metabolic map or the output function. Extant C4 species have higher C : N ratios reflecting the N-savings the operational C4 cycle enables @bib61. The photorespiratory pump using glycine decarboxylase based CO~2~ enrichment also emerges from the model, showing that C2 photosynthesis is also predicted under simple resource limitation. Indeed N-savings have been reported from C2 plants compared with their C3 sister lineages @bib66. Simply minimising photorespiration as the objective function also yields C4 photosynthesis as the optimal solution. Hence, two alternatively or parallelly acting selective pressures towards C4 photosynthesis, limitation in C and/or N, are identified by the model. In both cases, the model correctly predicts the C4 cycle of carboxylation and decarboxylation and the C2 photorespiratory pump as observed in extant plants. The evolution of C4 photosynthesis in response to multiple selective pressures underscores its adaptive value and potential for agriculture. Intermediacy also evolves indicating that it, too, is likely an added value trait which could be pursued by breeding and engineering efforts.\n",
"\n",
"The optimal solutions for the metabolic flux patterns predict an intermediate stage in which CO~2~ transport via photorespiratory intermediates glycolate and glycerate ([Figure 3(E) and (F)](#fig3)) and decarboxylation by glycine decarboxylase complex ([Figure 3(B)](#fig3)) is essential. All of the models of C4 evolution \\[@bib48; @bib6; @bib63; @bib31; @bib86] predict that the establishment of a photorespiratory CO~2~ pump is an essential intermediate step towards the C4 cycle. The photorespiratory CO~2~ pump, also known as C2 photosynthesis, relocates the photorespiratory CO~2~ release to the bundle sheath cells. Plants using the photorespiratory CO~2~ pump are often termed C3-C4 intermediates owing to their physiological properties @bib63. Displaying the flux solution in [Figure 3](#fig3) on a metabolic map in [Figure 3—figure supplement 1](#fig3s1) clearly illustrates that increasing photorespiratory flux through Rubisco drives the two-cell metabolic model from C3 to C4 metabolism by passing the C3-C4 intermediate state. On the C3-C4 trajectory, the activity of Rubisco is shifted from the mesophyll to the bundle sheath, as well as from the constrained to the CCM-dependent Rubisco population as a consequence of the increased costs of photorespiration under increased ${p}_{{O}_{2}}:{p}_{C{O}_{2}}$ ratio, see [Equation 5](#equ5). The increase of the oxygenation rate in the photorespiration constraint drives the reprogramming of the metabolism to avoid oxygenation by establishing the C4 cycle. Therefore, our analysis recovers the evolutionary C3-C4 trajectory and confirms the emergence of a photorespiratory CO~2~ pump as an essential step during the C4 evolution also under optimisation for resources @bib31. The model may also provide a reason for why some plant species have halted their evolution in this intermediary phase @bib65. Under the conditions of resource limitations and intermediate photorespiration, the model predicts intermediacy as the optimal solution. In a very narrow corridor of conditions, no further changes are required to reach optimality and the model thus predicts that a small number of species may remain intermediate.\n",

"## _Two-cell_ model realises different C4 states\n",
"\n",
"Since the model predicts C4 metabolism without specific constraints, different input and reaction constraints can be tested for their influence on the molecular nature of the C4 cycle. This approach may identify the selective pressure and boundaries limiting evolution. Initial optimisation without additional constraints or input limitations predict a C4 cycle based on decarboxylation by NADP-ME ([Figure 3](#fig3) and [Figure 3—figure supplement 1(A)](#fig3s1)). This prediction recapitulates intuition; the NADP-ME based C4 cycle is considered the 'most straight forward' incarnation of C4 photosynthesis, it is always explained first in textbooks and is a major focus of research. The NADP-ME based cycle thus represents the stoichiometrically optimal solution when resource limitation or photorespiration are considered. Once NADP-ME is no longer available via constraint, PEP-CK and NAD-ME become optimal solutions albeit with a prediction of malate and pyruvate as the transfer acids ([Figure 6](#fig6)). The FVA identified aspartate and alanine as slightly less optimal solutions ([Figure 5](#fig5)). Since _in vivo_ this slightly less optimal solution has evolved in all NAD-ME origins tested to date, kinetic rather than stoichiometric reasons suggest themselves for the use of aspartate and alanine @bib13.\n",

"## Light is a potential evolutionary driver for the different C4 states\n",
"\n",
"Since all extant C3 species and therefore also the ancestors of all C4 species contain all decarboxylation enzymes @bib4, it is unlikely that unavailability of an enzyme is the reason for the evolution of different decarboxylation enzymes in different origins @bib62. Stochastic processes during evolution, that is up-regulation of particular enzyme concentrations via changes in expression and therefore elements _cis_ to the gene @bib14, may have played a role in determining which C4 cycle evolved. Alternatively, environmental determinants may have contributed to the evolution of different C4 cycles. Physiological experiments have pointed to a connection between nitrogen use efficiency and type of decarboxylation enzyme @bib58. Hence the variation in nitrogen input to the model was tested for their influence on optimal solutions with regard to decarboxylation enzymes. Input limitation of nitrogen, water as a metabolite, and CO~2~ limited the output of the system but did not change the optimal solution concerning decarboxylation [Figure 6—figure supplement 1](#fig6s1) making it an unlikely candidate as the cause. Differences in nitrogen use is possibly a consequence of decarboxylation type.\n",
"\n",
"In some grasses, light penetrable cells overlay the vascular bundle leading to different light availability (summarised in @bib8 and @bib34) and hence light availability and distribution were tested ([Figure 6(B)](#fig6)). Changes in light input and distribution of light input between mesophyll and bundle sheath indeed altered the optimal solutions ([Figure 6(B)](#fig6)). The changes in the solution can be traced to the energy status of the plant cells. For very high light intensities, the alternative oxidases in the mitochondria are used to dissipate the energy and hence a path towards NAD-ME is paved. Under light limitation, the C4 cycle requires high efficiency and hence PEP-CK which, at least in part allows energy conservation by using PEP rather than pyruvate as the returning C4 acid, is favoured. Interestingly, the sensitivity of different species towards environmental changes in light is influenced by the decarboxylation enzyme present @bib72. NADP-ME species are less compromised compared to NAD-ME species by shade possibly reflecting an evolutionary remnant as NAD-ME is predicted to emerge only in high light conditions. PEP-CK is more energy efficient compared to malic enzyme based decarboxylation which requires PEP recycling by PPDK at the cost of two molecules of ATP ([Figure 3(D)](#fig3)). Notably, two C4 plants known to rely on PEP-CK _P. maximum_ and _A. semialata_ (African accessions) are shade plants which grow in the understory @bib44. PEP-CK can be co-active with NADP-ME and NAD-ME ([Figure 6(B)](#fig6)). This co-use of PEP-CK with a malic enzyme has been shown in C4 plants \\[@bib57; @bib87] and explained as an adaptation to different energy availability and changes in light conditions \\[@bib57; @bib7]. Dominant use of PEP-CK in the absence of malic enzyme activity as suggested ([Figure 3(B)](#fig3), [Figure 3—figure supplement 1](#fig3s1) and [Figure 4](#fig4)) is rare _in vivo_ @bib80 but observed in _P. maximum_ and in _A. semialata_. While the model predictions are in line with ecological observations, we cannot exclude that kinetic constraints (i.e. \\[@bib13]) may also explain why a stoichiometrically optimal solution such as the NADP-ME cycle is not favoured in nature where NADP-ME and NAD-ME species evolve in nearly equal proportions @bib62.\n",

"## Conclusion\n",
"\n",
"CBM of photosynthetically active plant cells revealed a major knowledge gap impeding CBM, namely the unknown protonation state of most transport substrates during intracellular transport processes. When photoautotrophic metabolism was optimised in a single cell for minimal metabolic flux and therefore, optimal resource use, C3 photosynthetic metabolism was predicted as the optimal solution. Under low photorespiratory conditions, a two-celled model which contains a CCM-dependent Rubisco optimised for resource use, still predicts C3 photosynthesis. However, under medium to high photorespiratory conditions, a molecularly correct C4 cycle emerged as the optimal solution under resource limitation and photorespiration reduction as objective functions which points to resource limitation as an additional driver of C4 evolution. Light and light distribution was the environmental variable governing the choice of decarboxylation enzymes. Modelling compartmented eukaryotic cells correctly predicts the evolutionary trajectories leading to extant C4 photosynthetic plant species.\n",

Major additions to the model are the cyclic electron flow @bib70, alternative oxidases in mitochondria and chloroplast @bib81, as well as several transport processes between the compartments and the cytosol @bib42. NAD-dependent dehydrogenase to oxidise malate is present in all compartments \\[@bib27; @bib9], which excludes the interconversion of NAD and NADP by cycles through the nitrate reductase present in the _Arabidopsis_ core model. Correctly defining the protonation state of the metabolites in the various cellular compartments is a general drawback of metabolic models due to the lack of knowledge in that area. This issue mainly affects biochemical reactions and transport reactions involving protons. We added a sink/source reaction for protons in the form:\n",

"\n",
"### Import\n",
"\n",
"As in @bib2, we assume photoautotrophic growth conditions. Only the import of light, water, CO~2~, inorganic phosphate ($\\mathrm{Pi}$), nitrate/ammonium, and sulphates/hydrogen sulphide is allowed, compare [Table 3](#table3). More specifically, we do only allow for nitrate uptake, since it is the main source (80%) of nitrogen in leaves @bib45. The CO~2~ uptake is limited to 20 μmol/(m^2^s) @bib37. Therefore, the carbon input constrains the model.\n",

"\n",
"In contrast to @bib2, we focus on mature, fully differentiated and photosynthetic active leaves supporting the growth of the plant through the export of nutrients in the phloem sap, mainly sucrose and amino acids. An output reaction for sucrose _Ex_Suc_ is already included in the model. An additional export reaction _Ex_AA_ represents the relative proportion of 18 amino acids in the phloem sap of _Arabidopsis_ as stoichiometric coefficients in accordance to experimentally measured data from @bib85. The ratio of exported sucrose : total amino acid is estimated to be 2.2 : 1 @bib85. This ratio is included as a flux ratio constraint of the reactions _Ex_Suc_ and _Ex_AA_. Furthermore, it is known that the export of sucrose and the formation of starch is approximately the same @bib74, which is reflected by the flux ratio constraint ${v}_{Ex\\mathrm{\\_}Suc}:{v}_{Ex\\mathrm{\\_}starch}$ = $1:1$. The model allows for the export of water and oxygen. The flux of all other export reactions is set to 0, see [Table 3](#table3) for a summary.\n",

"### Objective\n",
"\n",
"In accordance with the assumption of mature, fully differentiated and photosynthetic active leaf, the model’s objective is to maximise the phloem sap output defined by reactions _Ex_Suc_ and _Ex_AA_. Additionally, we assume that the involved plant cells put only a minimal metabolic effort, in the form of energy and resources, into the production of phloem sap as possible. This assumption is in correspondence with minimising the nitrogen investment by reducing the number of enzymes that are active in a metabolic network. Therefore, we perform a parsimonious FBA to minimise the total flux.\n",

"For enhanced compliance with the recent standards of the systems biology community, the _one-cell_ model is encoded in SBML level 3. Meta-information on subsystems, publications, cross-references are provided as evidence code in the form of MIRIAM URI’s. FBA related information, gene association rules, charge and formula of a species element are encoded using the Flux Balance Constraints package developed for SBML level 3.

"## Generic model for C4 metabolism\n",
"\n",
"### Metabolic model\n",
"\n",
"The generic model of C4 metabolism, short _two-cell_ model, comprises two copies of the _one-cell_ model to represent one mesophyll and one bundle sheath cell. Reactions and metabolites belonging to the metabolic network of the mesophyll are indicated with the prefix _\\[M]_, whereas the prefix for the bundle sheath is _\\[B]_. The separate mesophyll and bundle sheath networks are connected via reversible transport reactions of the cytosolic metabolites indicated with the prefix _\\[MB]_, [Figure 2](#fig2). The C4 evolution not only confined Rubisco to the bundle sheath cells, the CO~2~ concentrating mechanism steadily supplies Rubisco with CO~2~ in such a way that the oxygenation rate is negligible. Therefore, the bundle sheath network is equipped with two Rubisco populations. The native Rubisco population binds external CO~2~ and adheres to forced oxygenation : carboxylation ratios, where the optimised evolutionary population binds only internal CO~2~ and the carboxylation occurs independently of the oxygenation. External CO~2~ is defined as _\\[B]\\_CO2_ex\\__{_c,h_} supplied by the mesophyll network. Internal CO~2~ given by _\\[B]\\_CO2\\__{_c,h,m_} originates from reactions in the bundle sheath network producing CO~2~. External CO~2~in the bundle sheath network is only allowed to move to the chloroplast _\\[B]\\_Tr_CO2h_Ex_ and to react with Rubisco _\\[B]\\_RBC_h_Ex_. The differentiation of two Rubisco populations binding either external or internal CO~2~ approximates the concentration-dependent shift of the oxygenation : carboxylation ratio.\n",
"\n",
"### Imports\n",
"\n",
"As for the _one-cell_ model, we assume photoautotrophic growth conditions, see [Table 3](#table3). During C4 evolution the CO~2~ assimilation became more efficient allowing higher CO~2~ assimilation rates. _Zea mays_ achieves up to 40 μmol/(m^2^s) (\\[M]\\_Im_CO~2~) @bib60. We assume that the CO~2~ uptake from the environment by the bundle sheath has to be bridged by the mesophyll. Therefore, the input flux of \\[B]\\_Im_CO~2~ is set to zero.\n",
"\n",
"### Exports\n",
"\n",
"The outputs of the _one-cell_ model are transferred to the mesophyll and bundle sheath network, as well as the corresponding flux ratios, see [Table 3](#table3).\n",
"\n",
"### Additional Constraints\n",
"\n",
"The ATP costs for cell maintenance in the _genC3_ model are assigned to both cell types in the _two-cell_ model. Due to declining CO~2~ concentrations over evolutionary time and/or adverse conditions which close the stromata, the oxygenation : carboxylation ratio of the native Rubisco population in the bundle sheath and the mesophyll is increased and can be predicted as 1 : 3, the corresponding flux ratios are adapted accordingly. Furthermore, we assume that the total photon uptake in the mesophyll and bundle sheath is in the range of 0 μmol/(m^2^s)to 1000 μmol/(m^2^s). Since they are more central in the leaf, the photon uptake by the bundle sheath must be equal or less compared to the mesophyll. The mesophyll and bundle sheath networks are connected by a range of cytosolic transport metabolites including amino acids, sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, trehalose, ribose), single phosphorylated sugar (glucose-6-phosphate, glucose-1-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, sucrose-6-phosphate), mono-/di-/tri-carboxylic acids (phosphoenolpyruvate, pyruvate, citrate, cis-aconitate, isocitrate, $\\alpha$-ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate), glyceric acids (2-Phosphoglycerate, 3-Phosphoglycerate), glycolate, glycerate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, di-hydroxyacetone-phosphate and CO~2~. Nucleotides, NAD/NADH, NADP/NADPH, pyrophosphate, inorganic phosphate are not considered as transport metabolites. Oxaloacetate has been excluded as transport metabolite since concentrations of oxaloacetate are very low _in vivo_ and it is reasonably unstable in aqueous solutions. Other small molecules that can be imported by the bundle sheath from the environment, as well as protons and HCO~3~^-^, are not exchanged between the two cell types.\n",
"\n",
"### Objective\n",
"\n",
"The maximisation of the phloem sap output through the bundle sheath and the minimisation of the metabolic effort are kept as objectives in the _two-cell_ model."
