They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 tO 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein （蛋白质）The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions However, vitamin E leveLs increased by about 13 percent on average.The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets. That includes abour 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia.Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production.
