Wheat Cultivars Vary Widely in Their Responses of Grain Yield and Quality to Short Periods of Post-Anthesis Heat Stress
PJ Stone,Marc E. Nicolas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 75 cultivars of wheat were screened for tolerance to 3 days of high temperature (max. 40oC) and detailed results for grain yield and quality were presented for five wheat cultivars in order to illustrate the wide range of responses to short periods of high temperatures.

Effect of Timing of Heat Stress During Grain Filling on Two Wheat Varieties Differing in Heat Tolerance. I. Grain Growth
PJ Stone,Marc E. Nicolas +1 more
TL;DR: Mature individual kernel mass was most sensitive to heat stress applied early in grain filling and became progressively less sensitive throughout grain filling, for both varieties.

Effect of soil temperature on phenology, canopy development, biomass and yield of maize in a cool-temperate climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of soil temperature on maize phenology, canopy development, biomass and yield was examined by applying three treatments that altered soil temperature with only minimal impact on air temperature.

Water deficit effects on sweet corn. I. Water use, radiation use efficiency, growth, and yield
TL;DR: Measurements of potential soil moisture deficit integrated the effects of timing and severity of drought, making it possible to simply and mechanistically account for theeffects of water deficit on biomass and particularly yield.

A survey of the effects of high temperature during grain filling on yield and quality of 75 wheat cultivars
PJ Stone,Marc E. Nicolas +1 more
TL;DR: The responses of 75 cultivars of wheat to a short (3 day) period of very high temperature (40¦C max.) applied at either 10 or 30 days after anthesis were examined under controlled conditions, demonstrating the extent to which short periods ofvery high temperature may affect wheat yield and quality.
