The leaf net photoassimilation rate was decreased by 35% in the reduced CO₂ treatment. The reduction in CO₂ delayed the onset of ripening, but at harvest the sugar content of the berry pericarp was similar to that of plants grown in ambient conditions. The potassium content of the berry pericarp in the reduced CO₂ treatment was however higher than for the ambient CO₂. Berry potassium, sugar and water content were strongly correlated, regardless of treatments, alluding to a ternary link during ripening. Root starch content was lower under reduced CO₂ conditions, and therefore likely acted as a source of carbohydrates during berry ripening. Root carbohydrate reserve replenishment could also have been moderated under reduced CO₂ at the expense of berry ripening. Given that root potassium concentration was less in the vines grown in the low CO₂ atmosphere, these results point toward whole-plant fine-tuning of carbohydrate and potassium partitioning aimed at optimising fruit ripening.
