N. Ullah, B. Collins, J. Christopher, T. Frederiks, K. Chenue
This study quantifies wheat yield component responses to heat events before and after flowering, finding that heat above 28-30°C significantly reduces grain number and weight, with the strongest effects during specific heat accumulation periods.
