Sažetak
The world community is making great efforts to understand the current and potential impacts of global warming on plants and animals. Not only because of the negative effects on crop production and therefore on food supply, but also because of changes in the nutritional value of vegetables that occur as a result of the temperature increase. Plants challenged with high temperature undergo many adaptive mechanisms at molecular levels to keep normal physiology function. They can adapt to different temperatures by changing their transcriptome, proteome and metabolome, or even by activating cell death mechanisms. Such adaptability is due to their intensive shifts in biochemical pathways, which, as a consequence, can significantly change their bioactivity as well. Changes like these could have significant outcome on the plant nutritional value and present serious challenges for global food security. Because of that the objective of our work is to investigate the consequences of environmental increased temperature on vegetable nutritional value. We are trying to assign correlations between temperature shift and plant biochemical traits employing targeted specific metabolomics approach, statistical data analyses and modelling in order to construct a model showing a tentative pattern of environment temperature effect on plant bioactive compounds. As a model plant organism we use broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. convar. botrytis (L.) Alef. Var. cymosa Duch.) in different stage of development.
