Abstract excerpt
In sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench), the impact of heat stress during flowering on seed set is known, but mechanisms that lead to tolerance are not known. A diverse set of sorghum genotypes was tested under controlled environment and field conditions to ascertain the impact of heat stress on time-of-day of flowering, pollen viability, and ovarian tissue. A highly conserved early morning flowering was...
