Figure 1.
Predicted average growing season temperatures for 2050 in each wheat mega-environment (circle color; adapted from Ramirez and Jarvis, 2008). Red numbers show average growing season temperatures above 18°C (indicative of chronically high temperature stress according to Wardlaw and Wrigley, 1994).
Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Conceptual model of heat-adaptive traits grouped by three main drivers of yield (i.e. yield = LI × RUE × HI) in the absence of water limitations (adapted from Reynolds et al., 2007). ABA, Abscisic acid.
Figure 3.
Figure 3.
Relationship between grain yield (A) and mean radiation (B) and minimum or maximum temperature observed during the growing season of 16 genotypes from the International Heat Stress Genotype Experiment network of International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (adapted from Reynolds et al., 1994).
