Effect of Elevated Temperature and Drought Stress on Growth of Lycium barbarum

Abstract:

to test the Effect of elevated temperature and drought stress on growth of Lycium barbarum, the one-year-old seedling of L. barbarum were planted in ambient temperature condition or elevated temperature (2.5~3.7°Cabove ) condition using open top chambers for one growing season. The seedling height, root-collar diameter, new shots length and diameter etc. were tested to analyze the morphological response of L. barbarum to climate change. The result showed that soil drought stress reduced the height, root-collar, and new shot diameter growth of L. barbarum seedling, and elevated temperature increased the root-collar growth of L. barbarum seedling. The effect of elevated temperature on seedling height and new shot growth depended on the soil moisture condition.
