Abstract
ABSTRACT Disease is an integral element of agricultural and natural systems, but the roles pathogens play in determining ecosystem response to elevated CO 2 have rarely been examined. To investigate whether disease can alter the response of plants to CO 2 , we examined the effects of doubled CO 2 (∼700 μmol mol −1 ) on Avena sativa infected with barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), a common pathogen of cereals and grasses. Oats infected with BYDV showed a significantly greater biomass response to CO 2 enrichment than did healthy plants. Root mass of diseased plants increased by 37–60% with CO 2 enrichment, but was largely unaffected in healthy plants. CO 2 enrichment increased midday leaf‐level photosynthesis and instantaneous water use efficiency by 34 and 93% in healthy plants and by 48 and 174% in infected plants. Foliar carbohydrates increased with both CO 2 enrichment and BYDV infection, but the two factors affected individual pools dissimilarly. CO 2 enrichment may alter the epidemiology of BYDV by increasing the persistence of infected plants.
