This crop responded significantly by plant height, leaf length and width, and biomass production under C-600. Leaf area index increased triple fold in the crops grown in the open top chamber with C-600. The biomass production in term of fresh and dry biomass accumulation increased by 134.35 (fresh) and 193.34 (dry) % over the control (C-360) condition where the crops were grown for 120 d. The rate of photosynthesis and stomata conductance increased by 24.51 and 46.33 %, respectively, in C-600 over C-360 plants. In comparison with C-360, the rate of transpiration decreased by 6.8 % under C-600. Long-term exposure (120 d) to C-600 enhanced photosynthetic water use efficiency by 34 %. Also the contents of chlorophylls a and b significantly increased in C-600. Thus C ciliaris grown in C-600 throughout the crop season may produce more fodder in terms of green biomass.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:000247190100021</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 177ZDTimes Cited: 2Cited Reference Count: 16Cited References: AMON DI, 1949, PLANT PHYSIOL, V24, P1 BAIG MJ, 2005, PHOTOSYNTHETICA, V43, P47 BAKER JT, 2005, J CROP IMPROVEMENT, V13, P7 BOOKER FL, 2004, ENVIRON MANAGE, V33, P355 DAS M, 2000, INDIAN J PLANT PHYSL, V5, P137 FARQUHAR GD, 1982, ANNU REV PLANT PHYS, V33, P317 HISCOX JD, 1979, CAN J BOT, V57, P1332 PAL M, 2004, AGR ECOSYST ENVIRON, V101, P31, DOI 10.1016/S0167-8809(03)00202-0 ROGERS A, 2004, PLANT CELL ENVIRON, V27, P449 SAEBO A, 1995, AGR ECOSYST ENVIRON, V55, P29 SASEK TW, 1991, AM J BOT, V78, P69 SHARMA A, 1990, INDIAN J PLANT PHYSL, V33, P340 UPRETY DC, 2002, PHOTOSYNTHETICA, V40, P315 WANG H, 2004, PLANT MOL BIOL, V51, P1 WATSON RT, 1990, CLIMATE CHANGE IPCC, P1 ZHANG HH, 1996, PLANT PHYSIOL, V110, P1361Bhatt, R.
