Effect of Elevated CO<sub>2</sub> on Biomolecules’ Accumulation in Caraway (<i>Carum carvi</i> L.) Plants at Different Developmental Stages

Caraway plants have been known as a rich source of phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, monoterpenoid glucosides and alkaloids. In this regard, the application of elevated CO<sub>2</sub> (eCO<sub>2</sub>) as a bio-enhancer for increasing plant growth and phytochemical content...
