Wheat is a major cereal crop and considered as source of basic calories and protein for more than 80% of the world population. The impact of rising temperature, due to global climate change, on wheat production is of major concern worldwide. The wheat production is limited majorly by heat and drought stress. Heat stress effects and alters the important physiological and biochemical processes of the plant like grain number, photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll content, plant height, stay green etc. Plants detect changes in ambient temperature through membrane fluidity and protein conformation which further activates adaptive processes like expression of heat shock proteins. However, unfavourable high temperatures can be deleterious, causing injury which is generally called ‘heat stress. The present article reviews the recent findings on responses, adaptation and tolerance to Heat stress at various structural levels of plant.
