Variability in Growth and Yield Response of Maize Genotypes at Elevated CO2 Concentration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The changing climatic conditions are expected to increase the atmospheric CO2 concentration, temperatures and alter the precipitation pattern. Atmospheric CO2 concentration is predicted to reach 550ppm by 2050, and probably exceed 700ppm by the end of this century [1]. These changes are anticipated to affect the production and productivity of agricultural crops and influence the future food security. The impact analysis of climate change on global food production discloses a 0.5% decline by 2020 and 2.3% by 2050 [2,3]. The development of climate ready germplasm to offset these losses is of the upmost importance [4].

Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration affects plant activities directly. In order to investigate the effect of CO2 concentration, an experiment was conducted at Research Greenhouse of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. In this research, the effects of increasing CO2 concentration from 350 to 750 mg/L were studied on growth and yield of red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, cv. ...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis, productivity, and yield of maize are not affected by open-air elevation of CO2 concentration in the absence of drought.
While increasing temperatures and altered soil moisture arising from climate change in the next 50 years are projected to decrease yield of food crops, elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]) is predicted to enhance yield and offset these detrimental factors. However, C4 photosynthesis is usually saturated at current [CO2] and theoretically should not be stimulated under elevated [CO2]. Nevertheless...

Physiological and biomass responses of six genotypes of Populus tremuloides Michx., grown in ambient t (357 micromol mol(-1)) or twice ambient (707 micromol mol(-1)) CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and in low-N or high-N soils, were studied in 1995 and 1996 in northern Lower Michigan, USA. There was a significant CO2 x genotype interaction in photosynthetic responses. Net CO2 assimilation (A) was sig...
متن کاملCorrection: Interactive Effects of Elevated CO2 Concentration and Irrigation on Photosynthetic Parameters and Yield of Maize in Northeast China
Maize is one of the major cultivated crops of China, having a central role in ensuring the food security of the country. There has been a significant increase in studies of maize under interactive effects of elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and other factors, yet the interactive effects of elevated [CO2] and increasing precipitation on maize has remained unclear. In this study, a manipulative...
