Changes in the leaf content of (A) ascorbate, and (B) heat shock protein 70 kDa (HSP70) in Coffea canephora cv. Conilon Clone 153 (CL153) and Coffea arabica cv. Icatu plants under well-watered conditions (WW) or submitted to severe water deficit (SWD), followed by a gradual temperature increase from (25/20°C, day/night), to 42/30°C, and a recovery period of 14 days (Rec14). For each parameter, different letters after the mean values ± SE (n=4) express significant differences among temperature treatments for the same water level (A–D), or among water availability levels for each temperature treatment (a, b), always separately for each cultivar.
