Water use efficiency inFlaveria andMoricandia species

The water use efficiency (WUE) of the C3-C4 intermediate speciesFlaveria anomala andF. pubescens was similar to that found inF. cronquistii (C3). Compared to this values, the value inF. brownii (C4-like) was significantly increased and was doubled inF. trinervia (C4).Moricandia arvensis, a species with an enhanced CO2 reassimilation potential has a very similar water use efficiency asM. moricandioides (C3 but a lower transpiration rate.
