Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Soybean cultivars varied significantly in growth response to elevated CO2.
- Observation Soybean cultivars varied significantly in seed yield response to elevated CO2.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 increased total biomass by an average of 42% at the end of the vegetative stage.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 did not change soybean percent protein.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 did not change soybean percent oil.
- Association Growth enhancement under elevated CO2 was not correlated with single leaf photosynthetic response among cultivars.
- Association The greatest seed yield response to elevated CO2 was associated with increased lateral branching, pod production or seed weight.
- Mechanism Differences in carbon partitioning among soybean cultivars may influence reproductive capacity as CO2 rises.
