Abstract:Summary
C4 photosynthesis is a complex trait requiring multiple developmental and metabolic alterations. Despite this complexity, it has independently evolved over 60 times. However, our understanding of the transition to C4 is complicated by the fact that variation in photosynthetic type is usually segregated between species that diverged a long time ago.
Here, we perform a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) using the grass Alloteropsis semialata, the only known species to have C3, intermediate, and C4 acce… Show more
