- Intervention effect Water deficit during panicle development did not affect grain yields, yield components, protein percent, or total protein per unit area.
- Intervention effect Water deficit during panicle development increased protein content per grain.
- Intervention effect Water stress during grain filling increased grain protein percentage.
- Mechanism Water stress reduced total protein per unit area primarily through lower grain yield.
- Intervention effect Water stress did not affect protein content per grain.
