Plant growth and productivity are predicted to be affected by rising CO2 concentrations, drought temperature stress. The C3 crop model in a changing climate is Chenopodium quinoa Willd—a protein-rich pseudohalphyte (Amaranthaceae). Morphophysiological, biochemical molecular genetic studies were performed on grown at ambient (400 ppm, aCO2) elevated (800 eCO2) (D) and/or high (eT) treatments. Among the single factors, caused greatest stress response, inducing disturbances light dark photosynthesis reactions (PSII, apparent photosynthesis) increasing oxidative (MDA). Futhermore, compensation mechanisms played an important protective role against eT or eCO2. disruption of PSII function was accompanied activation expression PGR5, gene PSI cyclic electron transport (CET). Wherein under these conditions, constant Rubisco content maintained due increase its biosynthesis, which confirmed rbcL expression. In addition, combined treatments D+eT eCO2+D+eT negative effect, as measured increased stress, decreased water use efficiency, functioning mechanisms, such photorespiration activity antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, efficiency non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) not involving CET. summary, results show that experienced C. plants stresses eCO2+D+eT.
