Field experiments were conducted with 13 spring wheat genotypes planted on three dates in the 2000–2001 winter cropping cycle in NW Mexico. Surface temperatures of flag leaves, peduncles, spikes and canopy were measured with a hand-held infrared thermometer. Morphological and yield components were also measured. Results indicated that there is genetic variability for organ-TD. CTD showed strong positive correlations with organ-TD and grain yield. Organ-TD and CTD were positively correlated with leaf area index, and CTD was probably little affected by leaf rolling. Spike temperature was generally higher than leaf temperature, but lower than ambient air temperature. The interactions between grain yield and spike-TD and CTD were not significant. Results of this study indicate that CTD does not mask confounding interactions between organ temperatures and thus can be used reliably to measure TD during grain filling under heat stress conditions UR - https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12665/1322 DO - https://doi.org/10.1016/S0378-4290(02)00138-7 T2 - Field Crops Research ER -
