Popis: | Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] cultivars (Pusa Baisakhi, PS 16 and P 105) were grown in field at atmospheric (360 ± 10 ppm, AC) and elevated CO 2 (650 ± 50 ppm, EC) concentrations inside open top chambers for entire period of growth and development till maturity. Leaf net photosynthesis rate (P N ) of AC and EC grown plants when compared at same CO 2 concentration showed no significant down-regulation of P N in EC plants. In cv. P 105, even up-regulation of P N was observed in EC plants. Mungbean cultivars accumulated assimilates in the leaves during the day mostly in the form of starch. Nodule number and weight were also higher in EC plants. The positive effect of elevated CO 2 on P N , dry-matter production and seed yield was better expressed in cv. P 105 having greater podding ability. |
