Abstract The cultivation of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) was performed in controlled environment chambers with the continuous monitoring of photosynthesis, dark respiration, transpiration and main nutrient uptakes. A protocol in twin chambers was developed to compare the specific effects of low O2 and high CO2. Each parameter is able to influence photosynthesis but different effects are obtained in the development, fructification and seed production, because of the different effects of each parameter on the ratio of reductive to oxidative cycle of carbon. The first main conclusion is that low level of O2, at the same rate of biomass production, strongly acts on the rate of ear appearance and on seed production. Ear appearance was delayed and seed production reduced with a low O2 treatment (⋍ 4 %). The O2 effect was not mainly due to the repression of the oxidative cycle. The high CO2 treatment (700 to 900 μl.l−1) delayed ear appearance by 4 days, but did not reduce seed production. High CO2 treatment also reduced transpiration by 20 %. Two hypothesis were proposed to explain the similarities and the difference in the O2 and CO2 effects on the growth of wheat.
