Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Climate change poses significant challenges to the enhancement of crop productivity in pace with the increasing world population. Intraspecific variability in ryegrass responses to elevated CO2 can be exploited to screen for high-producing genotypes under future atmospheres and has been used to identify targets for breeding high CO2-ready cultivars. The present study expands on this approach...
