The effect of long-term exposure to elevated levels of CO 2 on biomass partitioning, net photosynthesis and starch metabolism was examined in cotton. Plants were grown under controlled conditions at 350, 675 and 1000gll -~ CO 2. Plants grown at 675 and 1000 gl 1-~ had 72% and 115% more dry weight re

An experimental system, in which gases of known composition were passed through flasks, was used to systematically study the effects of oxygen and carbon dioxide on plant cell growth. As expected, oxygen limiting conditions resulted in suppressed growth of Catharanthus roseus cultures. Oxygen limita
The cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plant responds to a doubling of atmospheric C O 2 with almost doubled yield. Gas exchange of leaves was monitored to discover the photosynthetic basis of this large response. Plants were grown in the field in open-top chambers with ambient (nominally 350 #1/1) or e
