Identification of candidate genes associated with photosynthesis in eggplant under elevated CO2.
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment 34: 1166-1175.
"Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is widely cultivated throughout
Asia.
... the eggplant variety Shenyuan 3 was grown under ambient (400 ppm) or elevated (800 ppm) CO2
... the elevated CO2 treatment was only maintained during the hours of 8 am to 10 am on sunny days.
After four weeks of treatment, ... elevated CO2 increased both the plant height and stem diameter by 28.6% and 5.2%, respectively. Elevated CO2 also stimulate net photosynthesis of eggplant leaves by 86% ...
