Global warming by increased atmospheric CO 2 concentration has been widely accepted. Yet, there has not been any consistent conclusion on the doubled CO 2 concentration that in the future will affect plant disease incidence and severity. Blackleg disease, mainly caused by Leptosphaeria maculans , is a major disease on canola production globally. Brassica napus and L. maculans have a gene-for-gene interaction, which causes an incompatible reaction between canola plants carrying resistance genes and L. maculans isolates carrying corresponding avirulence genes. In this study, B. napus varieties and lines inoculated with different Leptosphaeria isolates were subjected to simulated growth conditions, namely, growth chambers with normal environments and with controlled CO 2 concentrations of 400, 600, and 800 ppm. The results indicated that the elevated CO 2 concentrations have no noticeable effect on the inferred phenotypes of the canola-blackleg interactions. However, the disease severity decreased in most of the B. napus - L. maculans interactions at extremely high CO 2 concentration (800 ppm). The varied pathogenicity changes of the B. napus-L. maculans pathosystem under elevated CO 2 concentrations at 400 or 600 ppm may be due to the genetic background or physiological differences in plants and pathogenicity differences in L. maculans isolates having different Avr gene profiles. The mechanisms by which elevated CO 2 concentrations affect the B. napus-L. maculans pathosystem will help us understand how climate change will impact crops and diseases.
