Abstract:
      In the semi-arid regions of Loess Plateau, OTC (open-top chamber) was used to study the collaborative impact of increased CO2 concentration and atmospheric warming on potato growth, yield, and quality from 2016 to 2017. The result showed that the net photosynthesis rate of leaves treated with elevated temperature and increased CO2 concentration was 36.3% higher than that of the leaves treated only with elevated temperature only, and 34.7% higher than that of the control group from the inflorescence forming stage to the early stage of stem tuber enlargement. The water use efficiency of leaves treated with warming and increased CO2 concentration was 47.4% distinctly higher than the control group and 43.4% higher leaves treated with only elevated temperature. The actual yield and stem tuber protein content of potatoes treated with elevated temperature and CO2 concentration were 12.9% and 37.0%, significantly higher than that of the control group and 59.7% and 6.3% higher than that of the potatoes treated with only elevated temperature. The elevated temperature and CO2 concentration did improve the potato net photosynthesis rate, water use efficiency, organic substance accumulation, and the yield.
