Physiological and Proteomic Responses of Cassava to Short-Term Extreme Cool and Hot Temperature.

ABSTRACT: Temperature is one of the most critical factors affecting cassava metabolism and growth. This research was conducted to investigate the effects of short-term exposure to extreme cool (15 °C) and hot (45 °C) temperature on photosynthesis, biochemical and proteomics changes in potted plants of two cassava cultivars, namely Rayong 9 and Kasetsart 50. One-month-old plants were exposed to 15, 30, and 45 °C for 60 min in a temperature chamber under light intensity of 700 μmol m^-2 s^-1. Compared to the optimum temperature (30 °C), exposure to 15 °C resulted in 28% reduction in stomatal conductance (gs) and 62% reduction in net photosynthesis rate (P_n). In contrast, gs under 45 °C increased 2.61 folds, while P_n was reduced by 50%. The lower P_n
