Abstract
  • Quinoa is a native Andean crop for domestic consumption and market sale, widely investigated due to its nutritional composition and gluten-free seeds. Leaf water potential (?leaf) and its components and stomatal conductance (gs) of quinoa, cultivar Titicaca, were investigated in Southern Italy, in field trials (2009 and 2010). This alternative crop was subjected to irrigation treatments, with the restitution of 100 %, 50 % and 25 % of the water necessary to replenish field capacity, with well water (100 W, 50 W, 25 W) and saline water (100 WS, 50 WS, 25 WS) with an electrical conductivity (ECw) of 22 dS m ?1. As water and salt stress developed and ?leaf decreased, the leaf osmotic potential (?p) declined (below?2.05 MPa) to maintain turgor. Stomatal conductance decreased with the reduction in ?leaf (with a steep drop at ?leaf between ?0.8 and 1.2 MPa) and ?p (with a steep drop at ?p between ?1.2 and?1.4 MPa). Salt and drought stress, in both years, did not affect markedly the relationshipbetweenwaterpotentialcomponents,RWCandgs. Leafwater potentials and gs were inversely related to water limitation and soil salinity experimentally imposed, showing exponential (?leaf and turgor pressure, ?p, vs. gs) or linear (?leaf and ?p vs. SWC) functions. At the end of the experiment, salt-irrigated plants showed a severe drop in?leaf (below?2 MPa), resulting in stomatal closure through interactive effects of soil water availability and salt excess to control the loss of turgor in leaves. The effects of salinity and drought resulted in strict dependencies between RWC and water potential components, showing that regulating cellular water deficit and volume is a powerful mechanism for conserving cellular hydration under stress, resulting in osmotic adjustment at turgor loss. The extent of osmotic adjustmentassociated withdroughtwasnot reflected in?p at full turgor.Assoilwasdrying, the association between?leaf and SWC reflected the ability of quinoa to explore soil volume to continue extracting available water from the soil. However, leaf ABAcontent did not vary under concomitant salinity and drought stress conditions in 2009, while differing between 100 W and 100 WS in 2010. Quinoa showed good resistance to water and salt stress through stomatal responses and osmotic adjustmentsthat played a role in the maintenance of a leaf turgor favourable to plantgrowth andpreserved cropyield incroppingsystems similar to those ofSouthernItaly (literal)
