Abstract:

The experiment was conducted in environmental growth chambers with accurately controlled CO2 concentrations. Water deficit resulted in the decrease of stomatal openness and more irregular stomatal distribution of winter wheat, and elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]) mitigated the negative impacts on the morphological traits of individual stoma and spatial distribution of stomata. The net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate of winter wheat significantly decreased (P < 0.05) under water deficits than under full irrigation condition, while elevated [CO2] could mitigate the influence of mild water deficit on leaf gas exchange, and this mitigated effect declined with the increase of water deficit degree. In addition, the biomass of winter wheat was substantially decreased with water deficits but barely affected by elevated [CO2] under water deficits. These results suggested that winter wheat changes its leaf gas exchange by adjusting morphological traits of individual stoma and spatial distribution pattern of stomata under water deficit, and the “CO2 fertilization effect” on winter wheat may be modified by soil water conditions.

Key words: doubling CO2 concentration, water deficit, winter wheat, biomass, stomatal traits, gas exchange parameters

Fig. 1

Effects of e[CO2] on the spatial distribution pattern of stomata on the adaxial (A) and abaxial (B) leaf surface of winter wheat under different water conditions The 95% confidence envelope for complete spatial randomness is between the dark blue and brown dotted lines. Lhat (d) value is the nearest neighbor distance, and stomata would follow a regular distribution at the scale when the Lhat (d) value is lower than the 95% boundary. The minimum Lhat (d) value is smaller, the spatial distribution pattern of stomata is more regular."

Data are means ± SD (n = 5). Different letters above the error bars indicate significantly different (P < 0.05) among the eight water treatments under two [CO2] conditions."
