“…However, an increase in photosynthesis under e‐CO 2 was not systematically associated with an increase in grain yield (Ainsworth, ; Hasegawa et al, ; Kobayashi et al, ; Leakey et al, ; Long, Ainsworth, Leakey, Nösberger, & Ort, ; Long et al, ; Wang et al, ). One of the main hypotheses to explain this observation is that not only C source capacity but also C sink capacity drives crop production, and that either source or sink capacity alone cannot explain e‐CO 2 impacts on yield (Burnett, Rogers, Rees, & Osborne, ; Körner, ; Ludewig & Sonnewald, ; Sonnewald & Fernie, ).…”
