• Photorespiration and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. (2012, background): “The other major preconditioning event proposed in the C3 ancestors is extensive gene duplication and large genome size, which enhances adaptability by providing gene copies that can be neofunctionalized or subfunctionalized without creating harmful mutations (85, 117, 148).”
• Evolution of CAM and C4 Carbon‐Concentrating Mechanisms (2003, background): “…constraints on C4 dicot evolution include that of genetic limitations; specifically, it has been proposed that life history characteristics of dicots have made them less prone to gene duplication and subsequent neofunctionalization that is considered the precursor to C4 evolution (Monson 2003).”
• Evolution along the crassulacean acid metabolism continuum (2010, background): “Geneduplication events followed by neofunctionalisation and subfunctionalisation are likely to occur through the differentiation of cis-regulatory elements that control tissue- and clock-specific patterns of expression (Monson 2003).”
