Temperature and elevated CO₂ alter soybean seed yield and quality, exhibiting transgenerational effects on seedling emergence and vigor.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Environmental conditions play a prime role in the growth and development of plant species, exerting a significant influence on their reproductive capacity. Soybean is sensitive to high temperatures during flowering and seed developmental stages. Little is known about the combined environmental effect of temperature and CO₂ on seed yield and quality and its future generation.

Methods

A study was conducted to examine the effect of temperature (22/14°C (low), 30/22°C (optimum), and 38/30°C (high)), and CO₂ (420 ppm (ambient; aCO₂) and 720 ppm (elevated; eCO₂)) on seed yield, quality, and transgenerational seedling vigor traits of soybean cultivars (DS25-1 and DS31-243) using Soil-Plant-Atmospheric-Research facility.
