Transiently heat stressed maize pollen has reduced fertility. When non-heat-stressed female parents are fertilized with pollen from heat-stressed plants, seed set is severely reduced (right) compared to fertilization with control non-heat-stressed pollen (left). Reprint of figure 3F in Begcy et al. (2019).
