摘要:Carbon dioxide(CO2) and ground-level ozone(O3),two important components of global climate change,are rising continuously in the atmosphere and impart their significant impacts on growth and yield of various crop plants.The present study was performed to assess the growth,physiological,yield and grain quality responses of two cultivars(Malviya-37 and K-9107) of tropical wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) against elevated levels of CO2 and O3,individually and in combination under near-natural conditions.Plants were continuously exposed to elevated levels of CO2(700 ppm) and O3(ambient + 10 ppb;nearly 25%of ambient) for four hours(11.00 to 15.00h) in specially designed open top chambers(OTCs) from germination to the seed maturity.Growth and yield of the plants significantly increased under elevated CO2(EC) and combination of EC with elevated O3(ECO) as compared to the plants grown in ambient air(control).Under elevated O3(EO),significant reductions were observed in all the growth and yield attributes and the extent was higher in Malviya-37 as compared to K-9107.Elevated CO2 stimulated the net photosynthetic rate(Ps),photochemical efficiency(F/Fm) and reduced the stomatal conductance(gs).Reactive oxygen species(-.O2 production rate and H2O2 content),lipid peroxidation,activities of antioxidative enzymes,ascorbic acid and total phenolics were higher,whereas Ps′ gs′ Fv/Fm,soluble protein and photosynthetic pigments were reduced under elevated O3 exposure.Under combined treatment,EC modified the plant performance against O3 in both the cultivars.Soluble protein and total free amino-acids decreased in grains of EC,ECO and EO in both the test cultivars.Total soluble sugars and starch contents in grains increased due to EC and ECO and reduced under EO,however reducing sugars showed an opposite trend in both the cultivars.Results of the present study clearly suggested that(i) response was differential as Malviya-37 proved to be more sensitive against elevated O3 as compared to K-9107,and(ii) elevated CO2 provided significant protection to wheat cultivars against negative impact of elevated O3.The study concludes that elevated CO2 has the potential to modify seed yield and its quality in wheat by improving stress tolerance traits against O3.
