Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Heat stress during the reproductive phase leads to pollen sterility, poor seed set and grain abortion in maize.
- Association Maize yields are reduced by an average of 7.4% per degree Celsius rise in temperature.
- Association Heat stress increases oxidative stress in maize and impairs plant growth.
- Recommendation Future research should focus on breeding heat-tolerant maize varieties and optimizing agronomic practices.
- Association Plant growth regulators such as gibberellic acid, abscisic acid and salicylic acid may enhance maize resilience to heat stress.
