Metabolite and transcript profiling of Guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq) response to elevated CO2 and temperature

摘要

IntroductionBy mid-century, global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is predicted to reach 600 μmol mol⁻¹ with global temperatures rising by 2 °C. Rising [CO2] and temperature will alter the growth and productivity of major food and forage crops across the globe. Although the impact is expected to be greatest in tropical regions, the impact of climate-change has been poorly studied in those regions.
