Carbon Dioxide Enrichment and Crop Productivity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Agronomic Crops

Abstract

Photorespiration (oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle) is a process in which photosynthates burn down due to oxidative action of RUBISCO. This led to 25% reduction in photosynthetic output. However, e[CO2] can inhibit this reaction resulting to the minimum loss of carbon also known as CO2 fertilization.
