Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect High temperature shortened grain filling duration.
- Intervention effect High temperature produced small or no increases in grain filling rate.
- Method / resource The ordinary logistic model was judged most appropriate for analysing grain filling.
- Observation Cultivars varied in grain filling rate response to temperature.
- Observation Cultivars varied little in grain filling duration at higher temperature.
- Association Grain weight correlated significantly with filling rate at high temperature.
- Association Grain weight did not correlate with filling duration at high temperature.
- Recommendation The authors recommend filling rate and duration as independent selection criteria for heat tolerance.
- Recommendation The authors consider the grain filling inflection point worthwhile for selecting heat tolerance.
