Rice is sensitive to high temperature, especially at the reproductive stage, which causes spikelet sterility and yield losses. The increase in both frequency and intensity of high temperature, along with its large variability, is emerging as a potential threat to the sustainability of rice production. The predicted 2–4°C increment in temperature by the end of the 21st Century poses a threat to rice production. | Assessment of temperature stress on rice at grain filling stage in Raipur district of Chattisgarh, India
