e0“High p.a. temperatures applied from 6-days after anthesis (daa) and until 18daa reduced the grain's ability to accumulate water, with total grain moisture and percentage grain moisture content being significantly reduced from 14daa onwards.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect High post-anthesis temperature reduced percentage grain moisture content from 14 days after anthesis onward.
- Intervention effect High post-anthesis temperature applied for at least four days from 6daa reduced mature grain weight.
- Observation Comparison of RNA-Seq data identified tissue predominant wheat genes whose expression was significantly affected by high post-anthesis temperature.
- Intervention effect Pericarp predominant cell wall expansion genes, including endoglucanase, xyloglucan endotransglycosylases and β-expansin, were down-regulated by high temperature.
- Observation Pericarp expressed genes involved in cuticle development were over-represented among genes affected by high post-anthesis temperature.
- Mechanism The authors interpret coincident gene down-regulation, reduced grain moisture, and reduced grain weight as support for decreased pericarp cell wall expansion causing lower mature grain weight.
