The underlying mechanisms of the higher photosynthetic efficiency of cultivated cassava relative to its wild species are poorly understood. In the present study, proteins in leaves and chloroplasts were analyzed to compare the differences among the cultivar SC205, its wild ancestor W14, and the related species Glaziovii. The functions of differential proteins are associated with 10 ontology groups including photosynthesis, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, as well as potential signal pathway. The protein–protein networks among 41 differential proteins showed that PGK1 is a hub protein and protein cross-interactions affected the differentiation of photosynthetic rate. Anatomy patterns and PEPC detection suggested that SC205 has more C₄ photosynthesis characteristics than Glaziovii and W14. Finally, a mechanism model of the efficient photosynthesis was proposed based on the remarkable variations in photosynthetic parameters and protein functions in the domestic cultivars.
