Verbatim
e0“Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops”
e1“namely Phalaris minor and Avena ludoviciana (wild oat)”
e3“Two atmospheric CO₂ environments were maintained, namely ambient CO₂ (385 ± 5 ppm) and elevated CO₂ (550 ± 50 ppm)”
e5“Similar stimulatory effects were also observed in the associated weed species, indicating increased weed competitiveness under elevated CO₂ environments”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Elevated CO₂ significantly enhanced plant height, tiller production and root growth of wheat compared with ambient CO₂.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO₂ significantly enhanced leaf area, shoot biomass and total dry weight of wheat compared with ambient CO₂.
- Mechanism Enhanced wheat growth under elevated CO₂ was mainly attributed to increased photosynthetic activity and greater carbon assimilation.
