Rice seedlings were treated with different concentrations of Pb solutions or /and CO 2 (Pb 0 μM + CO 2 400 ± 20 μmol/mol, AC; Pb 0 μM + 800 ± 20 µmol/mol, EC; Pb 50 μM + CO 2 400 ± 20 μmol/mol, L; Pb 150 μM + CO 2 400 ± 20 μmol/mol, H; Pb 50 μM + CO 2 400 ± 20 μmol/mol, EC + L; Pb 150 μM + CO 2 800 ± 20 μmol/mol, EC + H;), so as to study the effects of Pb stress and/or elevated CO 2 on growth, photosynthesis, and endogenous hormones. We measured the biomass, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters, fluorescence parameters and their curves (O-J-I-P, Variable fluorescence) and the contents and ratio of endogenous hormones in rice seedlings. The results show that: (1) Both L and H had negative effects on the growth of rice seedlings. However, H treatment had a significant negative effect on PSII of rice seedlings, but L treatment had no significant effect. In addition, JA (jasmonic acid) and ABA (abscisic acid) were significantly associated with the decrease of G S in Rice under Pb stress. (2) Under EC treatment, the secretion of growth hormones increased significantly. More importantly, the content of JA increased significantly while G S decreased, but ABA did not, which may mean that JA is more sensitive to stomatal regulation under EC. (3) Compared with L and H, EC + L and EC + H manifested in the enhancement of photosynthetic performance and adjustment of hormone ratio. Compound treatment significantly increased the ratio of "promoting-hormone to ABA" compare with L and H treatment. The biomass accumulation of rice seedlings increased significantly after being affected by changes in hormone ratios and enhanced photosynthesis. Therefore, the high concentration CO 2 reduces the harm of Pb to a certain extent. However, this relief is also limited. Compared with H, EC + H has no alleviating effect on rice seedling most growth and photosynthetic parameters.
