Post-anthesis warm nights reduce grain weight in field-grown wheat and barley

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) crops are exposed to warm nights during their growing seasons and this trend is unlikely to change. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of higher post-anthesis night temperatures on field-grown crop yield, focusing on final grain weight determination. Experiments combined: (i) two well-adapted crops with similar phenology: bread wheat and two-row malting barley, under (ii)...
