Abstract

Episodes of high temperature and drought are predicted to occur more frequently under conditions of future climate change. This study investigated whether an episode of high air temperature (HT, +15°C), water deficit (WD), or both (HTWD), for 8 d, had the same effects on the yield of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill, cv. Fiskeby V] grown under either ambient (aCO 2 ; 360 (μol mol −1 CO 2 ) or elevated (eCO 2 ; 700 μmol mol −1 CO 2 ) CO 2 concentrations. Plants were grown in a glasshouse at either aCO 2 or at eCO 2 until 52 d after sowing (DAS). The S‐d stress treatments were then imposed before the plants were returned to their original environments. Across harvests, total biomass was 41% greater under eCO 2 than under aCO 2 but reduced by HT, WD, and HTWD under both CO 2 concentrations. The relative response of total biomass to HT, WD, and HTWD episodes was the same for plants grown under either aCO 2 or eCO 2 . At maturity, seed dry weight and number per plant under eCO 2 were increased by an average of 32 and 22%, respectively, compared with aCO 2 . The same parameters were reduced after HTWD by 29 and 30%, respectively, in aCO 2 and eCO 2 . Seed filling was earlier under HT and HTWD. The rate of change in harvest index was unaltered by CO 2 while under HTWD, it decreased. Seed number explained 85% of the variation in yield, but yield was also related linearly to photosynthesis during seed filling, suggesting both are important determinants of yields under stress.
