Durum wheat germplasm response to high temperatures, the role of small HSP26 in the defense response.

Abstract excerpt

Heat stress is a major constraint on wheat productivity, and short-term heat-shock studies often fail to capture the complexity of field conditions. Here, we assessed heat responses in contrasting durum wheat genotypes (SSD69, SSD397, Svevo, and Kronos) exposed to prolonged high temperatures throughout their life cycle under field-like conditions. Physiological evaluations at flowering and post-flowering showed...
