Study Results

Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) was developed as a means to study the crops response to elevated level of CO2 under the fully open-air field conditions. In this study, results of FACE experiments are summarized by disusing the root and shoot anatomy. Result indicated that elevated Co2 significantly altered the root and shoot xylem and phloem characters such as both proto and meta xylem and phloem; vessels, character of root and shoots which are vital for the transpiration regulation, along with leaves photosynthesis as a whole. The coexistence of two ontogenetically different phloem sieve element in Brassica plant under elevated CO2 might have possibility of two different transport functions at the same time. One may be involved in supplying for the structural development (leaf size, stem girth and root volume) and other may cater the need of increased new sinks. Though these parameters were found to decrease under moisture stress condition but these impacts of stress were reduced at higher level of atmospheric CO2.

Brassica juncea and Brassica campestries is two important oil seed crop of North-West India experiences intermittent moisture stress during its growing period. Thus a study was carried out to ameliorate the moisture stress through elevated CO2 applying Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) technology. The consequences of CO2 enrichment were related to the rate of accelerated photosynthesis under both irrigated and moisture stress situation with significant decreases in stomatal conductance. The elevated CO2 brought about a significant enhancement in all the plant growth parameters studied, and also ameliorates the of moisture stress. The carbon dioxide enrichment improves the productivity of Brassica cultivars viz. ‘Pusa Gold’ and ‘RH-30’ through changes in various yield attributes and also nullifying the adverse effect of moisture stress.

Ultra Structure

The aim of present study was to understand how the ultrastructure of the leaf mesophyll cells in Brassica leaf can be altered under elevated CO2 by interactive effect of elevated CO2 on leaf anatomy and ultra structure of Brassica species under moisture stress conditions. Results of the experiment revealed that the crop genotypes differ greatly in response to elevated CO2 and moisture stress conditions. Elevated CO2 brought about an increase in cell and chloroplast expansion in Brassica genotypes. Elevated CO2 also increased the thickness of epidermis, size ofmesophyll cells, accumulation of starch and size and number of starch granules per chloroplast in Brassica juncea and Brassica juncea cultivars. These alterations in the ultra structure of cells in plants might help to plant adjustment to changing climate in the future.

Abstract Cassava has the potential to alleviate food insecurity in many tropical regions, yet few breeding efforts to increase yield have been made. Improved photosynthetic efficiency in cassava has the potential to increase yields, but cassava roots must have sufficient sink strength to prevent carbohydrates from accumulating in leaf tissue and suppressing photosynthesis. Here, we grew eight farmer-preferred African cassava cultivars under free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) to evaluate the sink strength of cassava roots when photosynthesis increases due to elevated CO2 concentrations ([CO2]). Relative to the ambient treatments, elevated [CO2] treatments increased fresh (+27%) and dry (+37%) root biomass, which was driven by an increase in photosynthesis (+31%) and the absence of photosynthetic down-regulation over the growing season. Moreover, intrinsic water use efficiency improved under elevated [CO2] conditions, while leaf protein content and leaf and root cyanide concentrations were not affected. Overall, these results suggest that higher cassava yields can be expected as atmospheric [CO2] increases over the coming decades. However, there were cultivar differences in the partitioning of resources to roots versus above-grown biomass; thus, the particular responses of each cultivar must be considered when selecting candidates for improvement.
