Uncovering the wide protective responses in spp. leaves to single and superimposed exposure of warming and severe water deficit.

Climate changes boosted the frequency and severity of drought and heat events, with aggravated when these stresses occur simultaneously, turning crucial to unveil the plant response mechanisms to such harsh conditions. Therefore, plant responses/resilience to single and combined exposure to severe water deficit (SWD) and heat were assessed in two cultivars of the main coffee-producing species: cv. Icatu and cv.

Intrinsic non-stomatal resilience to drought of the photosynthetic apparatus in Coffea spp. is strengthened by elevated air [CO2].

Growing water restrictions associated with climate changes constitute daunting challenges to crop performance. This study unveils the impacts of moderate (MWD) or severe (SWD) water deficit, and their interaction with air [CO2], on the photosynthetic apparatus of Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner cv.

Resilient and Sensitive Key Points of the Photosynthetic Machinery of spp. to the Single and Superimposed Exposure to Severe Drought and Heat Stresses.

This study unveils the single and combined drought and heat impacts on the photosynthetic performance of cv. Icatu and cv. Conilon Clone 153 (CL153).
