Elevated CO2 (eCO2) increase plant biomass and might lead to nutritional losses. The results showed that eCO2 under Fe-deficiency stimulates root dry weight from 0.37–0.80 g plant−1 and shoot dry weight from 0.82–2.10 g plant−1, without compromising root/shoot ratio. Besides, eCO2 improved the chlorophyl content of Fe-deficient plants. However, downregulation of photosynthesis, reduction in stomatal conductance and transpiration rate, and an increase in water-use efficiency was observed due to eCO2. Moreover, under Fe-deficiency, eCO2 decreased K and Mg in roots, and Mg in leaves, whereas increased P and Zn in roots and leaves. In Fe-sufficient plants, eCO2 increased K, P, Mn, Zn and Fe in leaves and did not change the concentration in roots. The Fe-deficiency-induced responses in roots, including the increase in FCR activity, and the expression of Fe-uptake genes were stimulated by eCO2, but were not sufficient to increase Fe concentration in Fe-deficient plants.
