Effects of elevated carbon dioxide on plant physiology, nutritional quality and plant biotic factors: A review

Author(s):
Premnath Edhigalla Dathatria, Garima Aggarwal and Aarti Sharma
Abstract:
Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are some of the important greenhouse gases among which CO2 ranks first in percent contribution to promote global warming. CO2 may can contribute to the global warming but it is also a very important gas for plants to carry out photosynthesis. Furthermore, how a plant reacts to Increased CO2 levels assist to determine future breeding strategies. Increased CO2 concentrations are expected to boost plant physiological responses in general. A thorough perusal of current literatures on the effects of increasing CO2 on crops has helped in understanding that an increased CO2 levels can have both positive and negative impacts on the plant system. Elevated CO2 conditions not only affect metabolic activities like photosynthesis, quality of protein produced in plants but also influence defense mechanism in plants against biotic (pest and plant pathogen) and abiotic stress; interaction of plant roots with soil microbes.
