Other claims from this paper (13)

Intervention effect Heat stress primarily disrupts endoplasmic reticulum function in maize.
Intervention effect Heat stress disrupts mitochondrial structure in maize ears.
Mechanism Abnormalities in the electron transport chain lead to an increase in reactive oxygen species levels in heat-stressed maize.
Mechanism The increase in ROS levels results in oxidative stress, protein unfolding and cellular structure disruption in heat-stressed maize.
Intervention effect Heat stress decreased the number of grains per maize ear by 33%-54%.
Intervention effect Heat stress caused an overall maize yield loss of 29%-60%.
Mechanism The heat-tolerant variety ZD-tol showed thermotolerance by more rapidly activating pathways such as protein catabolism, energy, carbohydrate, amino acid and lipid metabolism.
Mechanism ZD-tol raised the threshold for stimuli detection and accelerated cellular ROS detoxification.
Association The heat-sensitive variety XY-sens had weaker cellular detoxification ability than ZD-tol, showing heightened sensitivity to heat stress.
Intervention effect Application of ROS inhibitors significantly reduced ROS levels in maize florets.
Intervention effect Application of ROS inhibitors alleviated endoplasmic reticulum stress in maize.
Intervention effect Application of ROS inhibitors decreased maize yield loss by 17%-31%.
Intervention effect The mitigation effect of ROS inhibitors was better in XY-sens than in ZD-tol.
