Assessment of variability in acquired thermotolerance: potential option to study genotypic response and the relevance of stress genes.

Abstract excerpt

High-temperature stress affects all growth stages of crops and ultimately yields. This is further aggravated by other environmental stresses like intermittent drought and high light. Management options are few and hence developing intrinsically tolerant plants is essential to combat the situation. As thermotolerance is a multigenic trait, emphasis needs to be on relevant approaches to assess genetic variability...
