High temperatures account for major wheat yield losses annually and, as the climate
continues to warm, these losses will probably increase. Both photosynthesis and respiration …

Understanding plant thermal tolerance is fundamental to predicting impacts of extreme
temperature events that are increasing in frequency and intensity across the globe …

Photosynthetic heat tolerances (PHTs) have several potential applications including
predicting which species will be most vulnerable to climate change. Given that plants exhibit …

Plants are exposed to a wide range of temperatures during their life cycle and need to
continuously adapt. These adaptations need to deal with temperature changes on a daily …

Predicted increases in future global temperatures require us to better understand the
dimensions of heat stress experienced by plants. Here we highlight four key areas for …

Extreme heat events will challenge agricultural production and raise the risk of food
insecurity. California is the largest agricultural producer in the United States, and climate …

Temperature is a major environmental factor affecting the development and productivity of
crop species. The ability to cope with periods of high temperatures, also known as …
