A model system to study the effects of elevated CO2 on the developmental physiology of roots: the use of Arabidopsis thaliana

Three developmental changes were observed in the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia) when shoots were exposed to elevated CO2. (i) The allometric coefficient, k, was enhanced significantly (P<0.001), (ii) primary root length and root extension rate were enhanced (P<0.001). Accelerated cor...
