Abstract

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a hereditarily distinct Andean crop that has received remarkable interest globally owing to its nutritional and health advantages. It is extremely tolerant to harsh environmental conditions, for instance, salt- and water-deficit agroecosystems. Salinity along with drought constitute the major abiotic environmental cues examined in quinoa, whereas additional stressors like heat, frost, heavy metals, waterlogging, and UV-B light are relatively less examined. Moreover, stresses usually act in combinations of two or more. Presently, large gaps exist in our knowledge regarding quinoa’s response to several abiotic stresses, particularly at the molecular level. Even as large genetic variability exists in quinoa species, substantial exploration is necessitated to exploit this genetic diversity. With the recent publication of quinoa reference genome, categorization of genes responsible for abiotic stress tolerance would be intensely facilitated, and a genetic approach should assist in improving our knowledge of varied abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms operative in quinoa, ultimately leading to better propagation approaches. By way of these advances, quinoa has great potential for providing sustainable solutions needed for food safety issues in dry and semi-dry areas worldwide. More or less, not much research has been carried out on quinoa, and relatively lesser has been carried out to explicate the genetics supporting quinoa’s endurance to abiotic factors. With this background, the chapter aims to present (1) a brief overview of quinoa’s history, botanical features, distribution, and economic importance and (2) a recent understanding of the responses and tolerance of quinoa to different abiotic stress factors, focusing on physiological and biochemical responses, possible molecular machinery, and genetic regulation.
