The different patterns of post-heat stress responses in wheat genotypes: the role of the transthylakoid proton gradient in efficient recovery of leaf photosynthetic capacity.

Abstract excerpt

The frequency and severity of heat waves are expected to increase in the near future, with a significant impact on physiological functions and yield of crop plants. In this study, we assessed the residual post-heat stress effects on photosynthetic responses of six diverse winter wheat (Triticum sp.) genotypes, differing in country of origin, taxonomy and ploidy (tetraploids vs. hexaploids). After 5 days of...
