Abstract

The impact of climate change on agricultural production will be most pronounced in tropical and subtropical regions, with numerous climate modeling studies predicting more occurrences of heat waves in the future. Elevated temperatures resulting from global warming pose a significant threat to the agricultural sector, as warmer conditions can hinder plant growth and development, leading to reduced crop yields or even crop failure under extreme circumstances. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of ambient, non-heated (30 °C) and heat stress conditions (38 °C) on the plant physiological responses, growth and yield of grain corn during both the vegetative and reproductive stages. The results demonstrated that exposure to heat stress for 7 days significantly impacted the physiological performance of the plants, resulting in a substantial 46.9% reduction in net photosynthetic rate. However, prolonged exposure to heat for 28 days caused even more severe effects, with a 72.5% reduction in net photosynthetic rate. Although the effects of heat stress on vegetative growth were not apparent after 7 days, the plants exhibited severe damage after 28 days of heat stress treatment. During the flowering stage, heat stress led to significant reduction in kernel set, total kernel number, and grain weight of grain corn by 45%, 41%, and 46%, respectively. Poor and scattered kernel set on cobs during the heat stress treatment at the anthesis period indicated damage to pollen grains, failed pollination, and fertilization. These findings highlight the vulnerability of grain corn varieties cultivated in Malaysia to the negative impacts of heat stress, leading to potential losses in production yield.
