AB - Abstract. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of water stress in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam) ‘Georgia Jet’) on biomass production and plant‐water relationships in an enriched CO2 atmosphere. Plants were grown in pots containing sandy loam soil (Typic Paleudult) at two concentrations of elevated CO2 and two water regimes in open‐top field chambers. During the first 12 d of water stress, leaf xylem potentials were higher in plants grown in a CO2 concentration of 438 and 666 μmol mol−1 than in plants grown at 364 μmol mol−1. The 364 μmol mol−1 CO2 grown plants had to be rewatered 2 d earlier than the high CO2‐grown plants in response to water stress. For plants grown under water stress, the yield of storage roots and root: shoot ratio were greater at high CO2 than at 364 μmol mol−1; the increase, however, was not linear with increasing CO2 concentrations. In well‐watered plants, biomass production and storage root yield increased at elevated CO2, and these were greater as compared to water‐stressed plants grown at the same CO2 concentration.
