Funneliformis mosseae Improves Growth and Nutrient Accumulation in Wheat by Facilitating Soil Nutrient Uptake under Elevated CO2 at Daytime, Not Nighttime.

ABSTRACT: The concurrent effect of elevated CO2 (eCO2) concentrations and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on plant growth, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) accumulations in plant and soil is largely unknown. To understand the mechanisms of eCO2 and mycorrhization on wheat (Triticum aestivum) performance and soil fertility, wheat seedlings were grown under four different CO2 environments for 12 weeks, including (1) ambient CO2 (ACO2, 410/460 ppm, daytime/nighttime), (2) sole daytime eCO2 (DeCO2, 550/460 ppm), (3) sole nighttime eCO2 (NeCO2, 410/610 ppm), and (4) dual or continuous daytime/nighttime eCO2 ((D + N)eCO2, 550/610 ppm), and with or without AMF (Funneliformis mosseae) colonization. DeCO2, NeCO2 and (D + N)eCO2 generally significantly increased shoot and root bio
