High temperature (HT) stress is a major environmental stress that limits plant growth,
metabolism, and productivity worldwide. Plant growth and development involve numerous …

As a result of climate change, drought is predicted to pose greater pressure on food
production system than in the past. At the same time, crop yield co-varies with both …

Climate change can decrease the global maize productivity and grain quality. Maize crop
requires an optimal temperature for better harvest productivity. A suboptimal temperature at …

Heat stress is a main threat to current and future global maize production. Adaptation of
maize to future warmer conditions requires improving our understanding of crop responses …

Understanding large‐scale crop growth and its responses to climate change are critical for
yield estimation and prediction, especially under the increased frequency of extreme climate …

Given the accumulating evidence of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa, there is an
urgent need to develop more climate resilient maize systems. Adaptation strategies to …

Increased climate variability and higher mean temperatures are expected across many
world regions, both of which will contribute to more frequent extreme high temperatures …

Studies across different crops demonstrated that grain or seed number per unit area (GN m–
2) is the dominant yield component. Although grains or seeds derive from floret or flower …

Low maize (Zea maysL.) yields and the impacts of climate change on maize production
highlight the need to improve yields in eastern and southern Africa. Climate projections …

High temperature (HT) stress during flowering severely threatens crop grain yield, however,
little is known about the underlying mechanisms in maize. A HT sensitive maize hybrid was …
