Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of phosphorus deficiency on nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis of nitrogen fixing soybean plant under $CO_2$ enrichment condition. The soybean plants(Glycine max [L.] Merr.) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN 110 were grown with P-stressed(0.05 mM-P) and control(1 mM-P) treatment under control$(400\;{\mu}l/L\;CO_2)$ and enrichment$(800\;{\mu}l/L\;CO_2)$ enviromental condition in the phytotron equipped with high density lamp$(1000\;{\mu}Em^{-2}S^{-1})$ and $28/22^{\circ}C$ temperature cycle for 35 days after transplanting(DAT). At 35 DAT, phosphorus deficiency decreased total dry mass by 64% in $CO_2$ enrichment condition, and 51% in control $CO_2$ condition. Total leaf area was reduced significantly by phosphorus deficiency in control and enriched $CO_2$ condition but specific leaf weight was increased by P deficiency. Phosphorus deficiency significantly reduced photosynthetic rate(carbon exchange rate) and internal $CO_2$ concentration in leaf in both $CO_2$ treatments, but the degree of stress was more severe under $CO_2$ enrichment condition than under control $CO_2$ environmental condition. In phosphorus sufficient plants, $CO_2$ enrichment increased nodule fresh weight and total nitrogenase activity(acetylene reduction) of nodule by 30% and 41% respectively, but specific nitrogenase activity of nodule and nodule fresh weight was not affected by $CO_2$ enrichment in phosphorus deficient plant at 35 DAT. Total nitrogen concentrations in stem, root and nodule tissue were significantly higher in phosphorus sufficient plant grown under $CO_2$ enrichment, but nitrogen concentration in leaf was reduced by 30% under $CO_2$ enrichment. These results indicate that increasing $CO_2$ concentration does not affect plant growth under phosphorus deficient condition and phosphorus stress might inhibit carbohydrate utilization in whole plant and that $CO_2$ enrichment could not increase nodule formation and functioning under phosphorus deficient conditions and phosphorus has more important roles in nodule growth and functioning under $CO_2$ enrichment environments than under ambient condition.
대기 $CO_2$ 상승시 인산공급이 대두식물체의 광합성 및 질소고정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고저 Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN110을 접종한 대두 식물체를 인산결핍구(0.05 m-P) 및 대조구(1.0 mM-P)를 처리하여 정상 $CO_2(400\;{\mu}l/L)$와 상승 $CO_2(800\;{\mu}l/L)$의 조건인 phytotron에서 35일 동안 재배하였다. 인산결핍은 건물량을 정상 $CO_2$ 처리시 51%, 상승 $CO_2$ 처리시 64%를 감소시켰고 총 엽면적도 유의성있게 감소시켰으나 specific leaf weight는 증가시켰다. 광합성 속도 및 잎내부의 $CO_2$농도는 인산결집구에서 감소하였고 그 정도는 $CO_2$ 상승처리시 더욱 컸으며 질소고정능과 근류생체량도 인산결핍시 감소하였으나 잎의 질소농도는 인산대조구가 30% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 $CO_2$ 상승조건에서도 인산이 결핍될 경우 식물생육을 촉진시키지 못하며 인산은 정상 $CO_2$ 농도시 보다 $CO_2$ 상승조건에서 근류의 성장과 작용에 더욱 중요한 역할을 하는것으로 유추된다.
