22 Are there general effects of C 4 photosynthesis on rela<ve growth rate among grasses? effect size significance C 4 photosynthesis +++ *** Annual life history +++ *** DomesScaSon ++ * Sod- forming growth + ** Open habitat preference + * Higher precipitason * Shared evolusonary history ++ ***

23 relasve growth rate = specific leaf area x leaf mass raso x net assimilason rate RGR = SLA x LMR x NAR Leaf area per unit leaf mass Leaf mass per unit plant mass Growth per unit leaf area

24 relasve growth rate = specific leaf area x leaf mass raso x net assimilason rate RGR = SLA x LMR x NAR C 4 photosynthesis +++ Annual life history DomesScaSon ++ Sod- forming growth ++ Open habitat preference PrecipitaSon

25 Why is specific leaf area higher in C 4 than C 3? SLA = 1 leaf density * leaf thickness EvoluSon of C 4 photosynthesis led to thinner leaves in grasses P- A ChrisSn Erika Edwards thickness C4 OS thickness C4 IS C 3 C 4 C 3 C ChrisSn et al. (2013) PNAS

26 The greater efficiency of C 4 leaves is linked to changes in the alloca<on of growth Sage & Pearcy (1987) Plant Physiology Long (1999) in C 4 Plant Biology (eds. Sage & Monson) Thinner leaves Greater leaf area Faster growth Greater root mass allocason Access to soil water/n?

27 Why doesn t C 4 photosynthesis boost the net assimila<on rate? Similar whole- plant net assimilason rate per unit leaf area Faster photosynthesis Greater root respirason? Faster leaf turnover?

28 The effect of C 4 photosynthesis on growth is mediated via changes to leaf thickness and root alloca<on

29 These changes in alloca<on exert major effects on growth, reminding us that photosynthesis acts within the context of a whole organism
