Quo vadis C4? An ecophysiological perspective on global change and the future of C4 plants (2004, background): “Instead, they may be gap species in the sense that they need at least limited exposure to sunflecks to be ecologically successful (Sage and Pearcy 2000).”
Photosynthetic pathway alters xylem structure and hydraulic function in herbaceous plants (2003, background): “C 4 plants have two- to four-fold greater WUE than C 3 plants and therefore have substantially lower transpiration rates, assuming equivalent growth form and environmental conditions (Osmond, Björkman & Anderson 1980; Pearcy & Ehleringer 1984; Long 1999; Sage & Pearcy 2000).”
Environmental and Evolutionary Preconditions for the Origin and Diversification of the C4 Photosynthetic Syndrome (2001, background): “…in shaded situations, where average temperatures within leaf canopies do not often rise much above 30 8C. C4 dicots, in general, lack the ability to grow in shade of forest canopies, and except for Chamaesyce spp. from Hawaii, none are known to occur within forests (Sage and Pearcy, 2000[66]).”
Variation in the kcat of Rubisco in C3 and C4 plants and some implications for photosynthetic performance at high and low temperature (2002, background): “During the past 2 million years, CO2 levels have varied between 18 and 28 Pa during glacial to interglacial cycles ( Sage and Pearcy, 2000 ).”
Isoprene emission from plants: why and how. (2007, background): “Instead, it appears that isoprene emission is more like the evolution of C4 metabolism, which arose numerous times in response to an environmental constraint (Sage, 2001; Sage and Pearcy, 2000).”
