Abstract excerpt
The atmospheric CO(2) concentration [CO(2)] has been increasing markedly since the industrial revolution and is predicted to reach 500-1,000 μmol mol(-1) by the end of this century. Although the short-term and acclimatory responses to elevated [CO(2)] have been well studied, much less is understood about evolutionary responses to high [CO(2)]. We studied phenotypic and genetic differences in Plantago asiatica...
