Article Synopsis
- Future climate changes will lead to more extreme weather, negatively affecting crop yields and quality, particularly due to heat stress, which is less understood for grain quality.
- A study on safflower plants with different heat tolerances revealed that extreme heat reduced seed yield by 53-57% and altered fatty acid composition, with increases in saturated fatty acids and varying effects on unsaturated fatty acids over two years.
- Heat stress impacted the physicochemical properties of safflower oil more significantly than the fatty acid profile, showing that certain parameters fluctuated based on environmental conditions and genetic tolerance.
