“…According to this hypothesis, there is an increased production of C-based plant secondary compounds when there is an excess of carbon compared to what is required for plant growth. Increased production of some C-based VOCs under elevated CO 2 conditions has been demonstrated for conifers (Constable et al 1999), oaks (Togneti et al 1998, Loreto et al 2001 and for cultivated plants (Jasoni et al 2004). Similar increases of VOC production are expected under higher O 3 concentrations, as demonstrated for homoterpenes in lima beans (Vuorinen et al 2004), and limonenes in Mediterranean plant species (Llusia et al 2002).…”

“…Odd-chain ketones 2-undecanone and 2-tridecanone were previously reported in raw onions [6]. Although the function of these methyl ketones has not been reported in onions, these metabolites are present in tomato trichomes and confer insect resistance against a major agricultural pest, spiders [50][51][52][53]. The reactions by which methyl ketones are synthesized in plants have not been reported, but it has been hypothesized that these compounds could be synthesized either from betaoxidation of fatty acids or by direct oxidation of hydrocarbons [54].…”

“…Influencing crop growth durations, effects on yield are attributed to temperature as a major determinant of onion crop growth and yield [54,60]. Onion grown at 1000 µmol mol −1 CO 2 responded with a 22% increase in photosynthesis and with >40% higher biomass on average compared to ambient CO 2 level at 400 µmol mol −1 [61]. So, elevated CO 2 may have a positive effect on onion growth.…”
