Integrating field-based heat tents and cyber-physical system technology to phenotype high night-time temperature impact on winter wheat

Many agronomic traits have been bred into modern wheat varieties, but wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) continues to be vulnerable to heat stress, with high night-time temperature (HNT) stress shown to have large negative impact on yield and quality. Global mean temperature during the day is consistently warming with the minimum night temperature increasing at a much quicker pace. Currently, there is no system or method that allows crop scientists to...
