How does the C4 grass Eragrostis pilosa respond to elevated carbon dioxide and infection with the parasitic angiosperm Striga hermonthica?

Eragrostis pilosa (Linn.) P Beauv., a C4 grass native to east Africa, was grown at both ambient (350 μmol mol-1 and elevated (700 μmol mol-1 ) CO2 in either the presence or absence of the obligate, root hemi-parasite Striga hermonthica (Del.)
