Hi Tri,

according to this paper it has Kranz anatomy and low CO2 compensation point, so it is likely a C4.

Dear Tri,

I found to be a C4, the first carboxylating compound of Coix acquatica.

Thank alot Valerio, 

I found it is potential wild plant if looking at biomass production capacity, I I ever suspected it as a C4.

Can you recommend or send me the paper indicating that is a C4 photosynthesis plant.?
