Transpirational cooling enhances grain yield and quality in heat-tolerant rice varieties

High temperatures during the grain-filling stage in rice often shorten grain-filling duration and accelerate maturity, typically reducing grain yield and quality. Leaf evaporative cooling via transpiration has been identified as an important adaptive mechanism for heat stress in rice. However, its r...
