• European plants with C4 photosynthesis: geographical and taxonomic distribution and relations to climate parameters (2010, neutral): “Sage RF. 2004.”
• Ecophysiological characteristics of invasive Spartina alterniflora and native species in salt marshes of Yangtze River estuary, China (2009, background): “These results also followed the theoretical patterns of plant photosynthetic types that C4 species display higher ‘‘efficiencies’’ in radiation, nutrient, and water utilization than C3 species, and hence achieve higher productivity (Sage, 2004).”
• Photorespiration and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. (2012, background): “This isotopic shift is now recognized as reflecting the expansion of preexisting C4 graminoid species rather than their origin (6, 31, 67, 117).”
• The antiquity of Madagascar’s grasslands and the rise of C4 grassy biomes (2008, background): “Following grasses, sedges (Cyperaceae) have the most C4 species world-wide (Sage, 2004).”
• Initiation of Setaria as a model plant (2014, background): “Many grass species have also evolved to use the C4 photosynthetic cycle, which is more energetically productive and uses both nitrogen and water more efficiently than the C3 photosynthetic cycle found in most green plants [1].”
• Recent Advances in Photosynthesis Under Drought and Salinity (2011, background): “Interestingly, C4 plants have evolved when atmospheric CO2 was lowest in the history of the planet earth and occurred several times independently, suggesting that this pathway is a strong ‘‘solution’’ to overcome photorespiration in spite of its complexity (Long et al., 2006; Sage, 2004).”
• The Evolution and Emergence of RNA Viruses (2009, background): “Further, convergence is rampant in some evolutionary systems: for example, the C4 photosynthetic pathway has evolved independently over 45 times in angiosperms (Sage 2004).”
• The developmental dynamics of the maize leaf transcriptome (2010, background): “Fewer genes were expressed in bundle sheath (15,186) and mesophyll cells (15,548).”
