Description
Feiyan Ju and seven colleagues tested sprays that help wheat cope with heat during grain filling. Heat at that stage cuts both growth and yield in winter wheat. Field plots got one of two growth regulators, a nutrient salt, or a blend of all three, and the team tracked genes, leaf action, and yield.
The sprays kept leaf photosynthesis strong and lifted the leaf's own defence enzymes. Harmful oxygen by-products and membrane damage fell as a result. The blend worked best of all: it curbed biomass loss and raised grain yield the most. Gene reads showed joint control of light capture and defence paths. The authors offer the blend as a farm-ready lead for hot spells, backed by a clearer picture of how it works.
