Figure 9 – Responses of the light saturated net photosynthesis (Amax) for eophylls from Hymenaea courbaril seedlings with cotyledons to atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Values for 360 and 720 pmm CO2 concentrations were measured in our open top chambers; values for CO2 concentration of 120 and 1200 ppm were obtained through the A x Ci curves simulated by IRGA (Li-Cor 6400).

CO2 accelerates light capture? What are the signalling mechanisms involved?
We found alteration in the genes related to light capture that seem to lead to anincrease in biomass and consequently in bioethanol
Can we artificially express these genes in sugarcane and obtain the benefits of a biomass increase now?
This could increase productivity and freeland for other purposes
