Within the current climate context, freshwater resources have become scarce. Agriculture, especially in rain-fed conditions, should deal with need of increasing yields to contribute food security under limiting water availability. Exploring underutilized crops such as Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa) has a unique opportunity some these possess ability tolerate several abiotic stresses, including dro...
