Coffee is the principal traditional agricultural export product of Peru, however, this crop is being threatened by the effects of climate change, because its organoleptic quality and productivity are strongly dependent on environmental conditions such as the air temperature. In this sense, the goal of the thesis was to analyze the response to the air temperatura elevation in two genotypes of a Coffea arabica Peruvian collection from Santa Teresa estate of Villa Rica - Peru by transcriptome analysis. Firstly, the genomic differences between the accessions of the germplasm collection of the Santa Teresa estate, located in Villa Rica, were established by genetic diversity and population structure analysis using molecular markers SRAPs and microsatellites. This analysis identified six genomic groups of C. arabica in the collection. Then, two heat stress-related marker genes (the HSF30 gene with two variants XM_027209958.1 and XM_027228927.1, and the HSFA6b gene) were found by RTqPCR analysis and analyzed to establish the optimal time to perform the transcriptional analysis: 45ºC for 90 minutes. Finally, the differential analysis of whole gene expression was performed in two genomically different accessions by RNAseq, using Illumina platform. In this analysis, 721 and 696 genes (LFD> 10 and s value <0.01) were differentially expressed in BorA and Cat accessions, respectively. Furthermore, 118 overexpressed and 95 underexpressed genes were shared by both accessions. Likewise, the gene families HSP20 and HSP70, and the gene variants of transcriptional factor HSFA2 were the highest expressed in both accessions upon heat stress. This would suggest that these genes might be involved in acquired thermotolerance.
