The enhancement in both frequency and intensity of high temperature, besides its large
variability will result in up to 40% yield reduction in rice by the end of 21st century …

Rice is highly sensitive to temperature stress (cold and heat), particularly during the
reproductive and grain-filling stages. In this review, we discuss the effects of low-and high …

China is the main producer and consumer of rice in the world, and rice is a major staple food
grain for more than half of the world's population. Reduced rice yields caused by climate …

The productivity of important agricultural crops is drastically reduced when they experience
short episodes of high temperatures during the reproductive period. Crop heat stress was …

Climate change may increase storms, flooding and other harsh weather events and, thus,
change geographical crop distribution, growing season and may also shorten the growth …

High temperature has become a global concern, which seriously affects the growth and
production of plants, particularly crops. Thus, the molecular mechanism of the heat stress …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a globally important cereal plant, and as a primary source of food it
accounts for 35–75% of the calorie intake of more than 3 billion humans. With the likely …

Rice production in China has more than tripled in the past five decades mainly due to
increased grain yield rather than increased planting area. This increase has come from the …

Drought and heat stress are among the two most important environmental factors influencing
crop growth, development, and yield processes. A comprehensive understanding of the …

In future climates, greater heat tolerance at anthesis will be required in rice. The effect of
high temperature at anthesis on spikelet fertility was studied on IR64 (lowland indica) and …
