Carbon Economy of Higher Plants under Influences of Atmospheric CO sub 2 and Nitrogen Nutrition

摘要

Corn samples collected at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from the CO sub 2 enrichment study have been analyzed for elemental composition, and the amount of glucose required to produce a unit of biomass has been calculated for the different treatments at two harvest dates. From these data, synthetic gas fluxes and theoretical yields can be predicted. 10 refs., 6 tabs. (ERA citation 11:007865)
