Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa) resistance is its ability to resist various stresses, the changes of which have important impacts on O. sativa yield security. However, the responses of O. sativa stress resistance to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature are poorly understood. We conducted a field open top-chamber experiment with O. sativa (Nanjing 9108 and Jinxiangyu I) based on the CO2 and temperature automatic control platform. The experimental treatments included ambient CO2 concentration and temperature treatment (CK, control), elevated CO2 concentration treatment (C, CO2 concentration increase of 200 μmol·mol-1 above CK), elevated temperature treatment (T, temperature increase of 2 ℃ above CK) and elevated CO2 concentration and temperature (CT, CO2 concentration increase of 200 μmol·mol-1 and temperature increase of 2 ℃ above CK). At the critical growth stages of O. sativa, we measured superoxide dismutase activity, silica content, total flavanol content, malondialdehyde content, soluble sugar content, proline content, and soluble protein content by cutting the uppermost functional leaves. We obtained the rice stress resistance index (RSRI) by principal component analysis to analyze the differences in the composition of stress resistance indicators under different treatments. Considering the disease resistance of O. sativa, the spike neck blast disease was counted to verify the expression level of RSRI for O. sativa stress resistance at maturity stage. Results showed that at the elongation-booting stage, C and CT treatments significantly reduced the RSRI of Jinxiangyu I by 36.5% and 41.1%, respectively, compared with CK. T treatment significantly decreased the RSRI of the two varieties by 44.9% and 33.8%, respectively. The RSRI explained 71.9%-74.3% of the variation in the spike neck blast disease. Overall, the stress resistance of two O. sativa varieties were adversely affected by elevated temperature at the elongation-booting stage. There was an interactive effect of CO2 concentration and temperature on O. sativa stress resistance. Compared with Nanjing 9108, the stress resistance of Jinxiangyu I was more sensitive to elevated CO2 concentration.
