Heat Stress during Meiosis Has Lasting Impacts on Plant Growth and Reproduction in Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.)

Meiosis is the least explored stage for thermotolerance in wheat. We evaluated the impact of 5 d of moderate transient daily heat stress during meiosis in the main stem spike on physiological and grain yield traits in 30 diverse wheat cultivars which vary widely in heat tolerance and sensitivity. We...
