TABLE 1.
Effect of Mg application on the grain filling duration (days), post-anthesis biomass (PAB, g pot–1), biomass at maturity (MB), 1000-kernel weight (TKW, g), and grain yield (g pot–1) of wheat under high-temperature stress (HTS) during grain filling.

CK-OT, control fertilizer with optimal temperature (OT); CK-HT, control fertilizer with high-temperature stress (HTS); Mg-OT, Mg with OT; Mg-HT, and Mg with HTS. Means were compared using Duncan’s multiple-comparison tests. Different lowercase letters after data in the same column indicate significant variations within the same year at P < 0.05.
