Effect of temperature on stem reserve mobilization for grain development in wheat

Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the first important and strategic cereal crop for the majority of world’s populations. In 100 grams, wheat provides 327 calories and is an excellent source of multiple essential nutrients, such as protein, dietary fiber, manganese, phosphorus and niacin. Several B vitamins and other dietary minerals are in significant content. High temperature (>30°C) at the time of grain filling is one of the major constraints in increasing productivity of wheat in tropical countries like India (Zhao 2007). This survey/review may likewise help in interdisciplinary study regards to influence of temperature stress on stem reserve mobilization when wheat plants suffer from arrested photosynthesis during stress condition
