In republic Central Asia has not conducted a detailed study of the effect of greenhouse CO₂ on physiological and biochemical parameters of potato plants, in particular, their interaction with stress factors such as high temperature, concentrations of CO_2, water deficit, the atmospheric and soil drought. Do not study the effect of the above factors on pests and diseases, the yield potato and its qualitative characteristics (starch, cellulose, protein).

The proposed project will to contribute to the solution important for our country of tasks, which concern to problems of protection of environment and food safety. During performance of the project is planned: to study impact of high concentrations of CO₂ and their interaction with heat, water scarcity, atmospheric and soil drought on development of potato pests and diseases, and on productivity and quality it tubers.

The project participants are experts in the study of physiology and biochemistry of plants, and modeling the factors on plants and have sufficient experience in dealing with fundamental and applied importance. The practical value of the project is that it will be the influence of different concentrations of CO₂, heat, water deficit, atmospheric and soil drought on growth, on development of potato pests and diseases and yield formation of potato. Particular attention will be paid to the biochemical quality of potato tubers.
