Fig. 1. Soybean seed fresh weight vs. days after tagging in Exp. 1 at 350 or 700 µmol mol-1 [CO2]. The ellipse encircles the samples from 28/18 and 40/30°C, respectively, used for differential display (DD). In contrast, seed tested for composition had reached full maturity and had achieved maximum dry weight.
