CO2 Fertilisation of Growth in Wild C4 Grasses may be Amplified by Upregulated Photosynthesis
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 is expected to have limited direct effects on C4 photosynthesis because the carbon‐concentrating mechanism maintains near‐saturating CO2 at Rubisco. Consequently, growth responses of C4 plants to elevated CO2 (eCO2) are generally attributed to indirect improvements in plant water relations.
