Plant responses to carbon dioxide
- Univ. of Sydney (Australia)
The average atmospheric concentration of CO{sub 2} will probably double before the end of next century. Many of the consequences for plant growth can and should be determined now. In this review the effects of [CO{sub 2}] on a variety of plant processes are summarized: stomatal opening and closing; stomatal density; respiration; root morphogenesis; and flowering. The effects of growth under elevated [CO{sub 2}] on crop yield and seed composition are also discussed. Adverse effects on the composition of C{sub 3} cereal grains are clearly indicated. 91 refs., 2 tabs.
