The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Genetic diversity of transpiration efficiency in sorghum (2009, background): “In general, plants with the C4 photosynthesis pathway are more efficient in water use than plants with the C3 photosynthesis pathway (Bacon, 2004).”
Contrasting response of grassland versus forest carbon and water fluxes to spring drought in Switzerland (2013, result): “This increase in WUE is in accordance with the expected response of WUE at the leaf level, to reduce water stress while keeping foliar assimilation high (see Bacon 2004; Schulze et al 2005).”
Improving water use in crop production (2008, background): “Many such reviews (most recently chapters by Passioura, Gregory & Jones in Bacon (2004)) have summarized the key information on water use and its ‘efficiency’ of use in plant production.”
Abiotic stresses, constraints and improvement strategies in chickpea (2014, background): “Water-use efficiency (WUE) is described as amount of biomass produced at the cost of per unit transpired water (Bacon 2004).”
