LAR, SLA, and LWR of hydroponically grown wheat in 360 μmol mol−1 CO2 (LC) or 650 μmol mol−1 CO2 (HC) with either free access to N (HN) or at a low rate of N supply (LN). Plants were harvested when the sixth leaf had fully expanded. Values are the means ± se.
ANOVA, Analysis of variance: **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. There were no significant interactions between CO2 and N.
