  32. CO2 effect not as simple as first imagined
    Kazan (2018)
    • CO2
    effects can be mediated by other environmental
    effects
    • Temperature, O3, Nitrogen, soil moisture
    • CO2
    affects phytohormone defence pathways.
    • CO2
    affects mycotoxin biosynthesis.

  40. Ruling Out Competing Explanations
    • Pathogen known to have been present
    • Genetic compositions have not shifted
    • Cultural practices have not changed
    • Requirements and interactions are well understood
    • Change has been observed long enough to establish a
    convincing trend
    • Need long-term records
