Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Wheat grain yield fell 78% at 35/20°C versus 20/20°C from 10 days after anthesis.
- Intervention effect Wheat kernel number fell 63% under the same heat comparison.
- Intervention effect Wheat kernel weight fell 29% under the same heat comparison.
- Mechanism Yield loss from heat beginning 15 days after anthesis was entirely due to decreased kernel weight.
- Intervention effect Heat from 20 days after anthesis decreased wheat kernel weight by 18%.
