Abstract: Variation of chlorophyll content and chla/b in leaves of soybean under doubled CO2 concentration and O3 concentration as well as their interactive effect were studied in open-top champers(OTC). The results showed that there were differences in chlorophyll content in leaves of soybean during different growth periods. The trends of low-high-low of chla, chlb, and chlT were observed. Variations among different treatments showed that the most obvious decrease of chlorophyll content was under O3 treatment and the next was interactive effect, while doubled CO2 concentration took some function to increase chlorophyll content. Chla/b decreased, most obviously under doubled CO2. This would be helpful to improve the capacity of photosynthesis of crops.

Key words: wheat, NO3--N, NH4+-N.
