Carbon fertilization
URL: https://wesr-staging.azurewebsites.net/glossary/ajax/ajax.searchalloccurance.php?q=332
The CO2 fertilization effect begins with enhanced photosynthetic CO2 fixation. Non-structural carbohydrates tend to accumulate in leaves and other plant organs as starch, soluble carbohydrates or polyfructosans, depending on species. In some cases, there may be feedback inhibition of photosynthesis associated with accumulation of non-structural carbohydrates. Increased carbohydrate accumulation, especially in leaves, may be evidence that crop plants grown under CO2 enrichment may not be fully adapted to take complete advantage of elevated CO2. This may be because the CO2-enriched plants do not have an adequate sink (inadequate growth capacity), or lack capacity to load phloem and translocate soluble carbohydrates. Improvement of photoassimilate utilization should be one goal of designing cultivars for the future.
