Agriculture: wheat crops feel the heat

Wheeler, T. (2012) Agriculture: wheat crops feel the heat. Nature Climate Change, 2 (3). pp. 152-153. ISSN 1758-6798 doi: 10.1038/nclimate1425

Abstract/Summary

Extreme heat can accelerate wheat aging — an effect that reduces crop yields and is underestimated in most crop models. Climate warming may, therefore, present even greater challenges to wheat production than current models predict.
