امواج گرمای اولیه به سخت ترین شکل به محصول گندم ضربه می زند، اما انعطاف پذیری را در برابر امواج گرمای بعدی افزایش می دهد.

Early heat waves hit wheat yields hardest but boost resilience to subsequent heat waves

New research published in the Journal of Experimental Botany reveals that wheat crops are more sensitive to grain yield losses from heat waves that occur before reaching their flowering stage than those occurring later. However, exposure to heat waves early in the growing season may reduce yield losses during additional heat waves through a protective "priming" effect.
