Ibrahim, D.G., Burke, T. orcid.org/0000-0003-3848-1244, Ripley, B.S. et al. (1 more author) (2009) A molecular phylogeny of the genus Alloteropsis (Panicoideae, Poaceae) suggests an evolutionary reversion from C4 to C3 photosynthesis. Annals of Botany, 103 (1). pp. 127-136. ISSN 0305-7364
Abstract
The grass Alloteropsis semialata is the only plant species with both C(3) and C(4) subspecies. It therefore offers excellent potential as a model system for investigating the genetics, physiology and ecological significance of the C(4) photosynthetic pathway. Here, a molecular phylogeny of the genus Alloteropsis is constructed to: (a) confirm the close relationship between the C(3) and C(4) subspecies of A. semialata; and (b) infer evolutionary relationships between species within the Alloteropsis genus.
