Abstract
Recently, it has been proposed that the respiratory metabolism of endophytes leads to an increased internal concentration of CO2, which contributes to higher photosynthesis. We argue that endophytes contribute to improved photosynthetic efficiency and net carbon gains by minimizing photosynthetic limitations.
