Abstract

This study was carried out during summer season of 2018 and 2019 to understand the implications of elevated carbondioxide concentration (e[CO2]) in mungbean growth, dry matter accumulation, activity of antioxidant enzymes and yield. The exposure of mungbean plant to e[CO2] resulted into increase in shoot length, stem, leaf and total biomass. However, the changes in crop growth and biomass upon e[CO2] exposure was stage specific, as no significant alteration in growth parameters was observed during vegetative stage. The e[CO2] resulted into significant increase in seed yield (39–68%) attributed to an increase in the number of pods per plant (41–42%) and number of seeds per plant (43–67%). There was also a significant alteration in leaf biochemical composition upon e[CO2] exposure as evident from reduced activities of peroxidase (maturity stage), super oxide dismutase (vegetative stage) and glutathione reductase (vegetative and podding stage).

Significance Statement: Elevated CO2 is reported to improve crop growth and yield. However, it is also known to have certain negative effects such as reduction in nutrients, vitamins, macro-and micro elements, cause oxidative stress as well. Therefore, generating information on crop responses to e[CO2] is vital to better understand the crop response.
