There are some cam plants that would have been included in the old, broad definition of the lily family these are listed as agavaceae, asphodelaceae and ruscaceae on the wikipedia page on cam metabolism, but under the broad definition of liliaceae, most lilies would still be c3. Therefore engineering c4 feature into c3 plants has been suggested as a feasible way to increase photosynthesis and yield of c3 plants, such as rice, wheat, and potato. The process is not a simple one it is quite complex, taking 2 main phases. Kortschak hawaiian sugar planters association that the first product of photosynthesis in sugarcane is not the c 3 unit 3phosphoglycerate but a unit. The key difference between c3 and c4 plants is that the c3 plants form a threecarbon compound as the first stable product of the dark reaction while the c4 plants form a fourcarbon compound as the first stable product of the dark reaction photosynthesis is a lightdriven process that converts carbon dioxide and water into energyrich sugars in plants, algae and cyanobacteria.
