Genetic selection for whole-plant water use efficiency (yield per transpiration; WUE_plant) in any crop-breeding programme requires high-throughput phenotyping of component traits of WUE_plant such as intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE_i; CO₂ assimilation rate per stomatal conductance). Measuring WUE_i by gas exchange measurements is laborious and time consuming and may not reflect an integrated WUE_i over the life of the leaf. Alternatively, leaf carbon stable isotope composition (δ¹³C_leaf) has been suggested as a potential time-ntegrated proxy for WUE_i that may provide a tool to screen for WUE_plant. However, a genetic link between δ¹³C_leaf and WUE_plant in a C₄ species has not been well established. Thus, to confirm if there is a genetic relationship in a C₄ plant between δ¹³C_leaf and WUE_plant under well watered and water-limited growth conditions, a high-throughput phenotyping facility was used to measure WUE_plant in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population created between the C₄ grasses Setaria viridis and S. italica . Three quantitative trait loci (QTL) for δ¹³C_leaf were found and co-localized with transpiration, biomass accumulation, and WUE_plant. Additionally, WUE_plant for each of the δ¹³C_leaf QTL allele classes was negatively correlated with δ¹³C_leaf, as would be predicted when WUE_i influences WUE_plant. These findings demonstrate that δ¹³C_leaf is genetically linked to WUE_plant, likely to be through their relationship with WUE_i, and can be used as a high-throughput proxy to screen for WUE_plant in these C₄ species.
