Abstract excerpt
Post-flowering heatwaves impact individual grain weight (IGW) and grain quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Here, the effect of post-flowering heatwaves on IGW, yield, and grain protein content (GPC) were examined in 25 wheat genotypes grown in irrigated field trials across locations, seasons and sowing dates. The photoperiod-extension method (PEM) was employed with measurements on individual spikes to...
