Convergent Evolution towards High Net Carbon Gain Efficiency Contributes to the Shade Tolerance of Palms (Arecaceae). by Ren-Yi Ma, Jiao-Lin Zhang, Molly A Cavaleri, Frank Sterck, Joeri S Strijk, Kun-Fang Cao

“…We hypothesized that palms are adapted to the shade of their native habitats by convergent evolution towards high net carbon gain efficiency (CGEn), which is given by the maximum photosynthetic rate to dark respiration rate ratio. …”
