Plants were grown at elevated (3000 ppm) CO2 and harvested after 24 h of ambient CO2 level ca. 10 min after light onset and 3 h before light onset. Small letters indicate significant differences between different plant types within same treatment (P < 0.05). Asterisks indicate significant differences between day and night within same plant type (P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, and ∗∗∗P < 0.001). All values are means ± standard deviation of 3 replicates.
