High temperature stress adversely affects almost all aspects of plant growth, development, reproduction and yield, including germination of seeds, scorch of leaves and shoots, sunburn of shoots and stems, senescence and shedding of leaves, and growth inhibition of roots and stems. The discoloration of the fruit and the decrease in yield even caused the death of the entire plant. All plant tissues are susceptible to heat stress, with the highest sensitivity of the reproductive organs, and a few degrees of temperature increase during flowering can lead to a sharp decline in crop yields and even the entire agricultural production. Compared with the vegetative growth period, the plant reproductive growth period is more sensitive to high temperature.
