Carbon dioxide responsiveness mitigates rice yield loss under high night temperature.

ABSTRACT: Increasing night-time temperatures are a major threat to sustaining global rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. A simultaneous increase in [CO2] will lead to an inevitable interaction between elevated [CO2] (e[CO2]) and high night temperature (HNT) under current and future climates. Here, we conducted field experiments to identify [CO2] responsiveness from a diverse indica panel comprising 194 genotypes under different planting geometries in 2016. Twenty-three different genotypes were tested under different planting geometries and e[CO2] using a free-air [CO2] enrichment facility in 2017. The most promising genotypes and positive and negative controls were tested under HNT and e[CO2] + HNT in 2018. [CO2] responsiveness, measured as a composite response index on different yield components, gr
