Combating Heat Stress in Wheat: Breeding and Management
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
Heat stress adversely affects wheat physiology, growth, and yield by impairing photosynthesis, respiration, and reproduction, leading to oxidative damage and reduced grain filling. Breeding efforts focus on enhancing heat tolerance through genomic selection and identifying QTLs. Mitigation strategies include using osmoprotectants and antioxidants. Understanding sensitive developmental stages and exploiting genetic diversity are key. Agronomic practices and heat shock proteins contribute to thermotolerance. Transcriptomic analysis reveals stress response pathways, while combined heat and drought stress pose significant challenges for wheat production.
