The research, led by MSU’s Berkley Walker and his team shows that, although elevated levels of carbon dioxide can be good for photosynthesis, increasing CO2 levels can tinker with other metabolic processes in plants. And these lesser-known processes could have implications for other functions like protein production. Their findings were recently published in <em>Nature Plants</em>.</p></description><author>Val Osowski</author><hero-image><img src="/_assets/images/news/2023/2023-01-is-there-a-link-between-climate-change-and-plant-nutrition.banner.plants%20and%20drought.jpg" alt="Michigan State University plant scientists may have found a link between climate change and plant nutrition.
