Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal
