TLDR
In this article, the authors present an overview of the responses of plants to high CO2 and the fundamental mechanisms behind those responses, which is considered an important aspect of global climate change as it has the potential to enhance crop productivity.Abstract:
The industrial revolution, population explosion, urbanization, and the use of advanced technological instruments have accelerated the consumption of fossil fuels leading to changes in the gaseous composition of the Earth’s atmosphere. The combustion of fossil fuel acts as a principal source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and is still contributing to its continuous rise in the atmosphere. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have significantly increased since the preindustrial era and future projections predict that its concentration will be doubled in the next 50 years, which will cause a significant impact on global weather patterns, including temperature increases by an average of 0.5°C per decade. As per future projections regarding greenhouse gases made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the projected levels of CO2 will range from 500 to 1000 ppm by the end of the 21st century. Currently, crop plants are exposed to CO2 levels that have not been experienced from the time of the preindustrial era, and agriculture is facing a future of uncertain consequences of global climate change. An understanding of the influence of climate change on future crop production requires an appreciation of the general responses of a range of crop types to elevated CO2 contents and the ways in which those affects interact with other factors. Rising CO2 is considered an important aspect of global climate change as it has the potential to enhance crop productivity, which will be required to feed the increasing population across the globe. The objective of this chapter is to present an overview of the responses of plants to high CO2 and the fundamental mechanisms behind those responses.read more

High-Temperature Conditions Promote Soybean Flowering through the Transcriptional Reprograming of Flowering Genes in the Photoperiod Pathway
Dong Hyeon No,Dongwon Baek,Su Hyeon Lee,Mi Sun Cheong,Hyun Jin Chun,Mi Suk Park,Hyun Min Cho,Byung Jun Jin,Lack Hyeon Lim,Yong Bok Lee,Sang In Shim,Jong-Il Chung,Min Chul Kim +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of global warming on flowering using an open-top Climatron chamber, which has a higher temperature and CO2 concentration than in the field, was investigated. And the expression patterns of soybean flowering genes on the molecular level under high-temperature conditions were examined.

Review on the impact of elevated CO2 concentrations on fruit species in the face of climate change
TL;DR: Fischer et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed the impact of elevated CO2 concentrations on fruit species in the face of climate change and concluded that there is undoubtedly a "fertilization effect of CO2" on the fruit species that increases with the advance of global warming.

Stomatal conductance and photosynthesis
TL;DR: Under optimal conditions, the most outstanding genotype was ICS-1, both in plant height, number of leaves, and stomatal conductance, this being proof that this genotype develops excellently and stands out if it has the right conditions and water availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
What have we learned from 15 years of free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE)? A meta-analytic review of the responses of photosynthesis, canopy properties and plant production to rising CO2.
TL;DR: The results from this review may provide the most plausible estimates of how plants in their native environments and field-grown crops will respond to rising atmospheric [CO(2)]; but even with FACE there are limitations, which are discussed.

More Efficient Plants : a consequence of rising atmospheric CO2
TL;DR: The primary effect of plants response of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 (Ca) is to increase resource use efficiency, and at the same time it stimulates higher rates of photosynthesis and increases light-use efficiency as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The response of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance to rising [CO2]: mechanisms and environmental interactions.
TL;DR: Improved understanding of the molecular and biochemical mechanisms by which plants respond to elevated [CO2], and the feedback of environmental factors upon them, will improve the ability to predict ecosystem responses to rising [ CO2] and increase the potential to adapt crops and managed ecosystems to future atmospheric [CO 2].
