Quantifying pre- and post-anthesis heat waves on grain number and grain weight of contrasting wheat cultivars
Quantifying pre- and post-anthesis heat waves on grain number and grain weight of contrasting wheat cultivars The study titled “Quantifying pre- and post-anthesis heat waves on grain number and grain weight of contrasting wheat cultivars” investigates the impact of heat stress on wheat productivity. As temperatures rise, wheat faces challenges in maintaining grain yield. Heat stress adversely affects two critical components: grain number per m2 (GN) and average grain weight (AGW). However, it remains unclear whether the sensitivity of these components differs and…
