Gene turnover and contingency facilitated the repeated evolution of C4 photosynthesis in grasses

Lara Pereira, Ahmed S. Alenazi, Sahr Mian, Ilia J. Leitch, Pascal‐Antoine Christin, Colin P. Osborne, Luke T. Dunning

The paper identifies genetic precursors for C4 photosynthesis in grasses and shows that gene turnover facilitated its repeated evolution in the PACMAD lineage.
