Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2009 C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...
