Strengthening leaf physiological functioning and grain yield formation in heat-stressed wheat through potassium application

Strengthening leaf physiological functioning and grain yield formation in heat-stressed wheat through potassium application

Wheat crops are highly sensitive to high temperatures during their reproductive and grain-filling phases. We hypothesized that potassium could increase thermotolerance in wheat during grain filling by protecting cellular organelles, particularly chlorophyll, from heat injury. Two wheat genotypes, Uj...
