Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C(4) photosynthesis

C(4) photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C(3) pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear. Here we show that the polyphyletic appearance of C(4) photosynthesis is associated with diverse and flexible evolutionary paths t...
