Abstract:Studies on the growth and photosynthetic characteristics in Guzmania‘Danis’ were conducted in plastic greenhouse with top covered by shading net under elevated CO2 (1 000±100 μmol mol-1) and ambient CO2(360±30 μmol mol-1) conditions. The results showed that the plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry weightsof plants under elevated CO2 were 120.19%, 119.22%, 177.91% and 161.04% of those under ambient CO2, respec-tively, as determined after 90 days of experiment. Under elevated CO2 condition, the net photosynthetic rate increased to l36%-259% and chlorophyll content decreased to 33.9l% in comparison with those under ambient CO2 during the experiments. Elevated CO2 stimulated the accumulation of soluble sugar an d starch, but declined the activity of glycolate oxidase in leaves,however,the activity of RuBPCase increased only slightly.
