C4plants show higher photosynthetic capacity and resource use efficiency than C3plants. However, the genetic variations of these traits and their regulatory factors in C4plants still remain to be resolved. We investigated physiological, biochemical, and structural traits involved in photosynthesis and photosynthetic water and nitrogen use efficiencies (PWUE and PNUE) in 22 maize lines and four teosinte lines from various regions of the world. Net photosynthetic rate (PN) ranged from 32.1 to 46.5 μmol m−2s−1.PNwas positively correlated with stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and chlorophyll, nitrogen and soluble protein contents of leaves, but not with specific leaf weight.PNwas positively correlated with the activities of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and the C4-acid decarboxylases, NADP-malic enzyme and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, but not with the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Leaf structural traits (stomatal parameters, leaf thickness, and interveinal distance) were not correlated withPN. These data suggest that physiological and biochemical traits are involved in the genetic variation ofPN, but structural traits are not directly involved. PWUE is in the lower class of values reported for C4plants, whereas PNUE is in the highest class of values reported for C4plants. PNUE was negatively correlated with leaf nitrogen content but not significantly correlated withPN. PWUE was not correlated withδ13C values of leaves, indicating difficulty in usingδ13C values as an indicator of PWUE of maize. In general, teosinte lines showed lowerPNbut higher PWUE than maize lines.
