Rising atmospheric [CO₂] influences plant growth, development, productivity and stress responses. Soybean is a major oil crop. At present, it is unclear how elevated [CO₂] affects the physiological and biochemical pathways of soybean under drought stress. In this study, changes in the photosynthetic capacity, photosynthetic pigment and antioxidant level were evaluated in soybean at flowering stages under different [CO₂] (400 μmol mol⁻¹ and 600 μmol mol⁻¹) and water level (the relative water content of the soil was 75–85% soil capacity, and the relative water content of the soil was 35–45% soil capacity under drought stress). Changes in levels of osmolytes, hormones and signal transduction enzymes were also determined. The results showed that under drought stress, increasing [CO₂] significantly reduced leaf transpiration rate (E), net photosynthetic rate (PN) and chlorophyll b content. Elevated [CO₂] significantly decreased the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline (PRO), while significantly increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and abscisic acid (ABA) under drought stress. Elevated [CO₂] significantly increased the transcript and protein levels of calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), and Glutathione S- transferase (GST). The content of HSP-70 and the corresponding gene expression level were significantly reduced by elevated [CO₂], irrespective of water treatments. Taken together, these results suggest that elevated [CO₂] does not alleviate the negative impacts of drought stress on photosynthesis. ABA, CDPK and GST may play an important role in elevated CO₂-induced drought stress responses.
