Elevated CO2 reduced floret death in wheat under warmer average temperatures and terminal drought.

Elevated CO2 reduced floret death in wheat under warmer average temperatures and terminal drought.

Elevated CO2 often increases grain yield in wheat by enhancing grain number per ear, which can result from an increase in the potential number of florets or a reduction in the death of developed florets. The hypotheses that elevated CO2 reduces floret death rather than increases floret development,...
