Impact of biofertilisers on iron homeostasis and grain quality in the rice variety Uma under Elevated CO₂.

ABSTRACT: The diminishing nutritional quality of rice with increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO₂ is currently a major global concern. The present study was designed with the objective of assessing the impact of biofertilisers on grain quality and iron homeostasis in rice under elevated CO₂. A completely randomised design with four treatments ([KAU, POP (control), POP+Azolla, POP+PGPR, and POP+AMF]), each replicated three times under ambient and elevated CO₂ conditions, was followed. The analysed data revealed that yield, grain quality, and iron uptake and translocation were modified in an unfavourable manner under elevated CO₂, which was reflected in the lower quality and iron content of the grains.
