Abstract
Abstract Elevated CO 2 promotes leaf photosynthesis and improves crop grain yield. However, as a major anthropogenic greenhouse gas, CO 2 contributes to more frequent and severe heat stress, which threatens crop productivity. The combined effects of elevated CO 2 and heat stress are complex, and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In the present study, the effects of elevated CO 2 and high‐temperature on foliar physiological traits and the proteome of spring wheat grown under two CO 2 concentrations (380 and 550 µmol mol −1 ) and two temperature conditions (ambient and post‐anthesis heat stress) are examined. Elevated CO 2 increases leaf photosynthetic traits, biomass, and grain yield, while heat stress depresses photosynthesis and yield. Temperature‐induced impacts on chlorophyll content and grain yield are not significantly different under the two CO 2 concentrations. Analysis of the leaf proteome reveals that proteins involved in photosynthesis as well as antioxidant and protein synthesis pathways are significantly downregulated due to the combination of elevated CO 2 and heat stress. Correspondingly, plants treated with elevated CO 2 and heat stress exhibit decreased green leaf area, photosynthetic rate, antioxidant enzyme activities, and 1000‐kernel weight. The present study demonstrates that future post‐anthesis heat episodes will diminish the positive effects of elevated CO 2 and negatively impact wheat production.
