The role of phytohormones in controlling heat stress responses during wheat anther developmentTools Dale, Matthew (2021) The role of phytohormones in controlling heat stress responses during wheat anther development. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractCereal crops are highly vulnerable to heat stress. Pollen development is particularly susceptible to high temperatures, with prolonged periods of exposure resulting in male sterility and yield loss. With global temperatures set to rise, yield losses are predicted to increase, warranting further investigation into the role of phytohormones in controlling wheat reproductive development and responses to abiotic stress. Various phytohormones have important roles in regulating many aspects of plant development, in particular pollen development and are also implicated in regulating heat stress responses. This project aimed to investigate the role of phytohormones in wheat development and the heat stress response.
