What is Enhanced photosynthesis at low oxygen concentrations: Differential response of temperate and tropical grasses about?

When leaves of grasses of the tribes Oryzeae, Festuceae, Hordeae, Aveneae, Phalarideae, Agrostideae and Stipeae were exposed to air containing a low oxygen concentration, photosynthesis was enhanced between 23 and 60%. No such increase was observed in grasses of the tribes Paniceae, Andropogoneae, Maydeae, Zoisieae, Chlorideae and Eragrosteae which are known (HATCH et al., 1967) to possess the C 4 carbon pathway of photosynthesis. The latter group consists of tropical grasses and the former, except for the Oryzeae, are grasses of temperate regions.
