Climate changes, mostly related to high temperature, are predicted to have major negative impacts on coffee crop yield and bean quality. Recent studies revealed that elevated air [CO2] mitigates the impact of heat on leaf physiology. However, the extent of the interaction between elevated air [CO2] and heat on coffee bean quality was never addressed. In this study, the single and combined impacts of enhanced [C...

Modeling studies have predicted that coffee crop will be endangered by future global warming, but recent reports highlighted that high [CO 2 ] can mitigate heat impacts on coffee. This work aimed at identifying heat protective mechanisms promoted by CO 2 in Coffea arabica (cv. Icatu and IPR108) and Coffea canephora cv. Conilon CL153. Plants were grown at 25/20 ◦ C (day/night), under 380 or 700 μL CO 2 L − 1 , a...
