  • Title: Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration inhibits nitrate assimilation in shoots but enhances it in roots of C3 plants.
    Author: Bloom AJ, Kasemsap P, Rubio-Asensio JS.
    Journal: Physiol Plant; 2020 Apr; 168(4):963-972. PubMed ID: 31642522.
    Abstract:
    We have proposed that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations inhibit malate production in chloroplasts and thus impede assimilation of nitrate into protein in shoots of C3 plants, a phenomenon that will strongly influence primary productivity and food security under the environmental conditions anticipated during the next few decades. Although hundreds of studies support this proposal, several publications in 2018 and 2019 purport to present counterevidence. The following study evaluates these publications as well as presents new data that elevated CO2 enhances root nitrate assimilation in wheat and Arabidopsis while it inhibits shoot nitrate assimilation.
