CO2 crop growth enhancement and toxicity in wheat and rice

Physiologic and metabolic responses of wheat seedlings to elevated and super-elevated carbon dioxide

“…However, nearly all of these studies have examined the effects of CO 2 enrichment up to the vicinity of 1200 l mol mol À1 (i.e. ppm as will be used hereafter); with relatively fewer studies dealing with CO 2 concentration above this level (Reuveni and Bugbee, 1997;Wheeler et al, 1993Wheeler et al, , 1999Bugbee et al, 1994). Findings on the impact of super-elevated CO 2 on plants were intriguing in many ways.…”

Using explanatory crop models to develop simple tools for Advanced Life Support system studies

“…For the other crops (rice, peanut, sweetpotato, dry bean and tomato), various sources were used to calibrate the models for total and edible biomass under nominal ALS-type growing conditions (except for dry bean, for which no model calibration or evaluation was made). For rice, sweetpotato and white potato, literature from the ALS community was also used to evaluate model predictions of the response of crop productivity to elevated [CO 2 ] (e.g., Bugbee et al (1994) for rice: Mortley et al (1996) for sweetpotato; Wheeler et al (1991) for white potato). As side-lighting was an unknown variable in these latter sources, further model evaluation was not practicable.…”

Agriculture for Space: People and Places Paving the Way

“…2). CELSS crop testing included wheat (Bugbee and Salisbury, 1988;Bugbee and Monje, 1992), soybean (Tolley-Henry and Raper, 1986), lettuce (Knight and Mitchell, 1988;Barta and Tibbitts, 1991), potato (Wheeler and Tibbitts, 1986;Wheeler et al, 1991a;Cao and Tibbitts, 1994), sweetpotato (Mortley et al, 1991, Bonsi et al, 1992, rice (Bugbee et al, 1994;Goldman and Mitchell, 1999), cowpea (Ohler and Mitchell, 1996), peanut (Mackowiak et al, 1998;Mortley et al, 2000), tomato (McAvoy et al, 1989;Gianfagna et al, 1998), and various alliums (Jasoni et al, 2004). Experiments were typically carried out in growth chambers with electric lighting, using either hydroponics or solid growing media in pots.…”
