When levels of CO2 are experimentally increased, C3 plants generally respond with a greater increase in productivity than C4 plants. This is because

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. C   plants are more efficient in their use of CO2
  2. C   plants are able to obtain the same amount of CO2 by keeping their stomata open for shorter periods of time.
  3. C4 plants don’t use CO2 as their source of carbon.
  4. C3 plants are more limited than C4 plants by CO2 availability because of transpirational water loss.

There are three essential nod gene for every bacterial species that is−NodA, NodB and NodC, that are required for synthesizing this basic structure such as;

a) NodA is an N-acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of a fatty acyl chain

b) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links the acetyl group of the terminal nonreducing sugar

c) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

d) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes the acetyl group from the terminal nonreducing sugar

e) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers
