Yield and oil quality of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes under elevated temperature and carbon dioxide
Yield and oil quality of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes under elevated temperature and carbon dioxide
Keywords:
Elevated temperature, Elevated CO2, Oil quality, Seed yieldAbstract
The biomass and seed yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes were affected by elevated temperature of +3°C (eT) and the presence of elevated CO2 of 550 ppm (eT+eCO2) ameliorated these impacts to some extent. K-6 and Narayani are sensitive to high temperature and responsive to eCO2 and K-9 showed better tolerance to higher temperature (>40°C). The eT and eT+eCO2 conditions significantly altered the oil content, saturated and unsaturated fatty acid levels of groundnut genotypes.
