Abstract:The purpose of this study is to explore the response of mini-cucumber seedlings to double CO2 concentration. Two kinds of mini-cucumbers were used as materials to study the effects of CO2 enrichment on the morphological indexes, seedling indexes and photosynthetic parameters of greenhouse mini-cucumber seedlings. CO2 enrichment increased the net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration and light saturation point of cucumber,and decreased stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, light compensation point and CO2 compensation point. CO2 enrichment significantly increased the stem diameter and plant height of mini-cucumber seedlings, increased leaf number and leaf area, significantly increased dry matter accumulation, increased net assimilation rate and seedling index, and increased root-shoot ratio. The enrichment of CO2 increased the photosynthetic performance and seedling quality of mini-cucumber. Genqing 27 is more sensitive to CO2 enrichment than Duofu.
