e0“During the initial phase of germination and seedling development of soybeans, most of the increase in dry weight in the embryo axis occurred in the hypocotyl”
e2“From day 1 to 11 dry weights of the hypocotyls in the “CO2-normal” and “CO2-Iimiting” (less than 50 ppm [0.005%] atmospheric CO2) treatments were similar”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Most of the increase in dry weight in the soybean embryo axis occurred in the hypocotyl.
- Observation The soybean epicotyl did not undergo a rapid increase in size and dry weight until the 4th to 5th day of growth.
- Intervention effect Under CO2-limiting conditions, hypocotyl dry weight decreased by day 13 while it continued to increase under CO2-normal conditions.
- Observation Cotyledon dry weight decreased in parallel under both CO2 treatments from day 1 to 13.
- Observation CO2 content of the atmosphere does not appear to be a controlling factor in cotyledon food reserve digestion or hydrolysis.
- Observation CO2 treatments did not produce significantly different utilization of lipids, total carbohydrates or proteins in the cotyledons.
- Observation Seedlings used cotyledonary carbohydrates and lipids before proteins under both CO2 atmospheres.
- Observation Food reserves in soybean cotyledon storage cells are sufficient for seedling development until about day 9.
- Observation Net CO2 uptake by soybeans in a CO2-normal environment first occurred between days 9 and 11.
