co2-response

2 articles

CO2 response refers to the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which plants detect and react to changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. As CO2 is a primary substrate for photosynthesis, plants have evolved complex signaling pathways that regulate stomatal aperture, carbon fixation rates, and gene expression in response to CO2 fluctuations. Understanding these responses is critical for predicting how plants will adapt to rising atmospheric CO2 levels and for engineering crops with improved photosynthetic efficiency and water-use efficiency.
