Fig. 7.

Relative abundance of fructans based on their degree of polymerization (DP) (A, B) and ratio of medium- to high-DP fructans (C) in leaf meristems of H. lanatus under four climatic scenarios: 390 (A) or 520 (B) ppm atmospheric CO₂ concentration combined with the ECE treatment (ECE) or without ECE (Con). The dashed boxes include the two groups of fructans with medium and high DP that were the most altered by the treatments. Leaf meristematic tissues were sampled at D1 (21 July) and D2 (4 August). Mean and ±SD are shown (n=3).
