Abstract: Reductions in the protein and nitrogen content of plants grown under enhanced atmospheric CO2 concentrations could adversely affect the quality of food grown in the future, but the mechanisms of change remain unclear. Now research investigating plant responses to enhanced levels of atmospheric CO2 under field conditions finds that wheat nitrate assimilation was slower for elevated CO2 than for ambient CO2.
