Continued Adaptation of C4 Photosynthesis After an Initial Burst of Changes in the Andropogoneae Grasses
Abstract C4 photosynthesis is a complex trait that sustains fast growth and high productivity in tropical and subtropical conditions and evolved repeatedly in flowering plants. One of the major C4 lineages is Andropogoneae, a group of ∼ 1,200 grass species that includes some of the world's most important crops and...Bianconi, Matheus E ; Hackel, Jan ; Vorontsova, Maria S. ; Alberti, Adriana ; Arthan, Watchara …

Doctoral thesis
Taxonomy, evolutionary history, and ecological dominance of Themeda and Heteropogon.
Heteropogon and Themeda grasses are common and significant components of the C4 savannas which have recently gained more attention for conservation and biodiversity research. The two genera have been the subject of ecological research due to their widespread and dominant species H. contortus and T. themeda. Like many tropical plant...Arthan, Watchara
