The legacy of C4 evolution in the hydraulics of C3 and C4 grasses
H. Zhou, E. Akcay, E. Edwards, B. Helliker
This study examines how C4 photosynthesis evolution affects hydraulic traits in grasses, finding that younger C4 lineages have higher hydraulic conductance and capacitance, while older lineages show reduced values.
