Expression of a rice soluble starch synthase gene in transgenic wheat improves the grain yield under heat stress conditions

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a temperate cereal with an optimum temperature range of 15–22°C during the grain filling stage. Heat stress is one of the major environmental constraints for wheat production worldwide. Temperatures above 25°C during the grain filling stage significantly reduced wheat...
