Each of >20 independent evolutions of C4photosynthesis in grasses required reorganization of the Calvin–Benson‐cycle (CB‐cycle) within the leaf, along with coordination of C4‐cycle enzymes with the CB‐cycle to maximize CO2assimilation. Considering the vast amount of time over which C4evolved, we hypothesized (i) trait divergences exist within and across lineages with both C4and closely related C3grasses, (ii) trends in traits after C4evolution yield the optimization of C4through time, and (iii) the presence/absence of trends in coordination between the CB‐cycle and C4‐cycle provides information on the strength of selection. To address these hypotheses, we used a combination of optimality modelling, physiological measurements and phylogenetic‐comparative‐analysis. Photosynthesis was optimized after the evolution of C4causing diversification in maximal assimilation, electron transport, Rubisco carboxylation, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and chlorophyll within C4lineages. Both theory and measurements indicated a higher light‐reaction to CB‐cycle ratio (Jatpmax/Vcmax) in C4than C3. There were no evolutionary trends with photosynthetic coordination between the CB‐cycle, light reactions and the C4‐cycle, suggesting strong initial selection for coordination. The coordination of CB‐C4‐cycles (Vpmax/Vcmax) was optimal for CO2of 200 ppm, not to current conditions. Our model indicated that a higher than optimalVpmax/Vcmaxaffects assimilation minimally, thus lessening recent selection to decreaseVpmax/Vcmax.
