The effects of experimental warming on leaf photosynthesis and respiration acclimation has been well studied so far but relatively little information exists on the structural and biochemical responses to warming. However such information is very important to better understand the plant responses to global warming. Therefore we grew Arabidopsis thaliana at the three day night temperatures of 23 18 C ambient temperature C elevated by C and 28 23 C elevated by 5 C to simulate the middle and the upper projected warming expected within the 21st century for this purpose. Results The 28 23 C treatment significantly reduced the life span total biomass and total weight of seeds compared with the other two temperatures. Among the three temperature regimes the concentrations of starch chlorophyll and proline were the lowest at 28 23 C whereas the total weight of seeds concentrations of chlorophyll and proline stomatal density SD stomatal conductance gs net CO2 assimilation rate A and transpiration rate E were the highest at C. Furthermore the number of chloroplasts per cell and mitochondrial size were highest at C and lowest at 28 23 C. Conclusions The conditions whereby the temperature was increased by C were advantageous for Arabidopsis. However a rise of 5 C produced negative effects suggesting that lower levels of warming may benefit plants especially those which belong to the same functional group
