Computational model predicts soybean response to climate change
A successful plant model has now been parameterized to include soybean growth under elevated CO2.

A successful plant model has now been parameterized to include soybean growth under elevated CO2.
A rise in carbon dioxide could affect production of plant defences in unexpected ways.
Evidence from this study indicates that elevated [CO2] not only can aggravate the effects of water deficit on photosynthetic performance and growth of maritime pine but also it can attenuate genotypic differences in drought tolerance as compared with those observed at current atmospheric [CO2].
Crop models need improving for an accurate assessment of the impacts of climate change on crop productivity.
