A genetic tradeoff for tolerance to moderate and severe heat stress in US hybrid maize.

Global climate change is increasing both average temperatures and the frequencies of extreme high temperatures. Past studies have documented a strong negative effect of exposures to temperatures >30°C on hybrid maize yields. However, these studies could not disentangle genetic adaptation via arti...
