I am doing a proposal for a research entitled 'GRAIN YIELD AND QUALITY RESPONSES OF WHEAT GENOTYPES UNDER CO2 ENRICHMENT AND EXTREME EVENTS'
I will be using climate chamber and I would like to know more about the methodology, process and equipment
Hello Dagwadi,
May I suggest that you look at publications I was involved in? They contain extensive references . Try searching in Google with " lawlor temperature and co2 wheat " and all the publications are on Researchgate. Regards
Interacting effects of CO2 concentration, temperature and nitrogen supply on the photosynthesis and composition of winter wheat leaves

The effects of elevated temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration on the quality of grain lipids in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown at two levels of nitrogen application
David W. Lawlor thank you so much for the response and sharing your articles!
may i ask if there is any resource to help me know/ estimate the major research inputs and associated costs? (like chemicals, agents etc?)
it is for a PhD thesis at and i am required to present a financial summary. I will be using the university's facilities for climate chamber experiments, laboratory work and grain quality analysis.
below is the summary of activities
Study program and expected results
In controlled exposure experiments, the genetic diversity of Ethiopian wheat genotypes will be screened under atmospheric CO2 enrichment. Moreover, the interactive impacts of elevated CO2 and extreme climate-related events (e.g., droughts, heat waves, etc.) on selected wheat genotypes will be identified using climate scenarios simulations. The resource use efficiency for e.g., water and nutrients, of wheat genotypes to combined climate change factors will be assessed and the impacts on yield and yield quality in terms of food production (future food security and malnutrition) will be evaluated. The project will further evaluate crop ideotypes in order to quantify the mitigation potential for food and nutrition security via modifications of the diet (nutritional interventions) and in the context of feed as well as bioenergy supply and processing.
Out of 50% of the released carbon dioxide due to fossil fuels , 25% is absorbed by vegetation and the other 25% by ocean. Carbon dioxide is typically absorbed using amines which transforms it into soluble carbonate salt and this operates at 60 degree C. Crops have different capacity absorption similar to trees - deciduous trees account for greater absorption compared to the others.
