Synopsis The roots of tobacco plants were subjected to a wide range of simulated aeration conditions. In general plant functions were not appreciably reduced until the CO 2 concentration became greater than the O 2 concentration but were sharply reduced after the CO 2 to O 2 ratio became larger than one.
