- Intervention effect Heat stress increased total protein, albumin and gliadin contents.
- Intervention effect Heat stress increased glutenin content.
- Intervention effect Heat stress reduced grain yield and grain weight.
- Intervention effect Heat stress reduced protein yield and globulin content.
- Intervention effect Heat stress reduced flag leaf nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase activities.
- Observation Heat stress and zinc fertilizer had greater impacts on the strong gluten cultivar than on the medium gluten cultivar.
- Intervention effect Under heat stress, grain yield decreased by 13% in GY2018.
- Intervention effect Under heat stress, grain yield decreased by 8% in ZM8.
- Intervention effect Under heat stress, protein yield decreased by 7% in GY2018.
- Intervention effect Under heat stress, protein yield decreased by 8% in ZM8.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer increased grain and protein yields and grain weight.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer increased total protein, albumin and gliadin contents.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer increased glutenin content.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer reduced globulin content.
- Intervention effect The 15 mg Zn kg–1 soil addition had the strongest effect on grain yield and quality among tested doses.
