Publication Open Access Pea plant responsiveness under elevated [CO2] is conditioned by the N source (N2 fixation versus NO3 fertilization)(Elsevier, 2013) Aranjuelo Michelena, Iker; Cabrerizo, Pablo María; Arrese-Igor Sánchez, César; Aparicio Tejo, Pedro María; IdAB. Instituto de Agrobiotecnología / Agrobioteknologiako Institutua; Ciencias del Medio Natural; Natura Ingurunearen ZientziakThe main goal of this study was to test the effect of [CO2] on C and N management in 2different plant organs (shoots, roots and nodules) and its implication in the 3responsiveness of exclusively N2-fixing and NO3--fed plants. For this purpose, 4exclusively N2-fixingand NO3--fed (10 mM) pea (Pisum sativumL.) plants were 5exposed to elevated [CO2] (1000 mol mol-1versus360 mol mol-1CO2). Gas 6exchange analyses, together with carbohydrate, nitrogen, total soluble proteins and 7amino acids were determined in leaves, roots and nodules. The data obtained revealed 8that although exposure to elevated [CO2] increased total dry mass (DM)in both N 9treatments, photosynthetic activity was down-regulated in NO3--fed plants, whereas N2-10fixing plants were capable of maintaining enhanced photosynthetic rates under elevated 11[CO2]. In the case of N2-fixing plants, the enhanced C sink strength of nodules enabled 12the avoidance of harmful leaf carbohydrate build up. On the other hand, in NO3--fed 13plants, elevated [CO2] caused a large increase in sucrose and starch. The increase in root 14DM did not contribute to stimulation ofC sinks in these plants. Although N2fixation 15matched plant N requirementswith the consequent increase in photosynthetic rates, in 16NO3--fed plants, exposure to elevated [CO2] negatively affected N assimilationwith the 17consequent photosynthetic down-regulation.
