Rice responses to rising temperatures – challenges, perspectives and future directions por Jagadish, S.V.K., Murty, M. V. R., Quick, W. Paul

“…This review addresses (1) the importance of vapour pressure deficit under fully flooded paddies and increased vulnerability of rice production to heat stress or intermittent occurrence of combined heat and drought stress under emerging water‐saving rice technologies; (2) the major disconnect with high night temperature response between field and controlled environments in terms of spikelet sterility; (3) highlights the most important mechanisms that affect key grain quality parameters, such as chalk formation under heat stress; and finally (4), we model and estimate heat stress‐induced spikelet sterility taking South Asia as a case study.…”
