Table 1.

Leaf parameters and flower diameter of Impatiens New Guinea grown under two CO2 concentrations: ambient CO2 (380 μmol·mol−1) and elevated CO2 (760 μmol·mol−1).

Ambient CO2 (380 μmol·mol−1) Elevated CO2 (760 μmol·mol−1) % increase P value
Log leaf length 0.863 ± 0.004 0.893 ± 0.004 3.5 <0.001
Log leaf width 0.392 ± 0.003 0.401 ± 0.003 2.3 0.009
Relative leaf area (cm2) 9.016 ± 0.137 9.864 ± 0.140 9.4 <0.001
Flower diameter (cm) 6.615 ± 0.028 6.656 ± 0.023 0.6 0.131

Values given are mean ± standard deviation. Mean values (n = 34 samples, with 9 leaves or flowers from 3 plants per sample) were compared by Student's t-test.
