From: Modeling photosynthetic resource allocation connects physiology with evolutionary environments
The dependence of the CO2 assimilation rate on leaf nitrogen levels for various Flaveria species is consistent with model results based on optimality in the evolutionary scenario (solid lines). For C3-C4 intermediate, C4-like, and C4, these results outperform results from simulations assuming optimal phenotypic adaptation to the EGC (dashed lines). The modeled species are F. pringlei (C3), F. floridana (C3-C4), F. palmeri (C4-like), and F. bidentis (C4) (data from Vogan and Sage30). See Supplementary Table S9 for the residual sum of squares.
