Exogenous plant growth regulators alleviate natural high temperature stress after anthesis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by sustaining efficient photosynthesis and antioxidant defense responses

High temperature stress during the grain-filling period severely suppresses plant growth and yield formation in winter wheat. Plant growth regulators including 2,4-epibrassinolide (EBR) and melatonin (MT) have been reported to effectively enhance plant thermotolerance, representing a promising strategy to mitigate...
