Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Genotype biomass responses ranged from a 32% reduction to a 62% enhancement.
- Association Biomass response was unrelated to changes in leaf photosynthetic rates.
- Association Carbon assimilation correlated strongly with leaf C:N ratio.
- Association Carbon assimilation correlated strongly with allocation to sink tissues, especially stems.
- Observation Stem allocation increased significantly under future conditions.
- Association Stem allocation scaled positively with productivity responses.
- Observation Root allocation had no significant treatment difference.
- Recommendation Authors identify increased stem carbon sink allocation as a useful breeding trait.
