Effect of climate change on the physiology of crop plants: a review

To analyze the effects of climate change on plant physiology is necessary to consider various environmental factors and their interaction with physiological process. The objective of this review is to present the current knowledge of research related to climate change effects on plant physiology. This review covers the effects of increased CO2, temperature, water (water deficit and excess water) and ozone on growth and development of various crop species. The temperature increase will generate problems of genetic erosion and lead to the extinction of many plant species, high temperatures can adversely affect photosynthesis, respiration, water relations and membrane stability, hormone regulation and secondary metabolism plants. Net photosynthesis increases gradually with the increase of CO2, especially in C3 species, but at high temperatures is reduced because of increased photorespiration. Exposure to ozone (O3) reduces stomata diffusion, the photosynthetic rate, affects the partition of assimilates and generally reduces plant growth.

Para analizar los efectos del cambio climático sobre la fisiología de las plantas es necesario considerar varios factores ambientales y su interacción con los procesos fisiológicos de las plantas. El objetivo de esta revisión fue presentar el conocimiento actual de las investigaciones relacionadas con los efectos del cambio climático sobre la fisiología de las plantas. Se han abordado los efectos del incremento de CO2, temperatura, agua (déficit y exceso hídrico) y ozono, sobre el crecimiento y el desarrollo de varias especies cultivadas. El incremento de la temperatura generará problemas de erosión genética y conducirá a la extinción de muchas especies vegetales; las altas temperaturas pueden afectar adversamente la fotosíntesis, la respiración, las relaciones hídricas y la estabilidad de las membranas, la regulación hormonal y el metabolismo secundario de las plantas. La fotosíntesis neta, se incrementa progresivamente con el aumento del CO2, en particular, en especies C3, pero a altas temperaturas, se reduce por efecto del aumento en la fotorrespiración. La exposición al ozono (O3) disminuye la difusión estomática, la tasa fotosintética, afecta la partición de asimilados y, en general, reduce el crecimiento de las plantas.
