Global warming has caused frequent occurrence of heat stress at the flowering stage of
single-season rice in the Yangtze River region of China, which results in declines of spikelet …

Global rice crop production is being threatened by a frequent rise in high temperatures and
drought. Drought and heat stresses adversely affect the morphological, physiological, and …

Background Pollen tube elongation in the pistil is a key step for pollination success in plants,
and auxins play an important role in this process. However, the function of auxins in pollen …

Recent predictions on climate change indicate that high temperature episodes are expected
to impact rice production and productivity worldwide. The present investigation was …

High temperature has a pronounced effect on grain yield and quality in rice. Climate change
has increased night temperature more than day temperature in many parts of the world. How …

High‐temperature during flowering in rice causes spikelet sterility and is a major threat to
rice productivity in tropical and subtropical regions, where hybrid rice development is …

Background Decreased spikelet fertility is often responsible for reduction in grain yield in
rice (Oryza sativa L.). In this study, two varieties with different levels of heat tolerance …

The increasing trend of extreme heat events poses serious implications for rice production in
China, especially when it coincides with the heat-sensitive reproductive growth period …

The yield potential of rice is seriously affected by heat stress due to climate change. Since
rice is a staple food globally, it is imperative to develop heat-resistant rice varieties. Thus, a …

Heat stress impairs both pollen germination and pollen tube elongation, resulting in
pollination failure caused by energy imbalance. Invertase plays a critical role in the …
