Abstract: AbstractMain conclusionWe demonstrate thatrbcLunderwent strong positive selection during the C3–C4photosynthetic transitions in PACMAD grasses, in particular the 3′ end of the gene. In contrast, selective pressures on other plastid genes vary widely and environmental drivers… read more here.
