Abstract:
Globally maize is one of the most important cultivated crop and plays a significant role in human and livestock nutrition. In India, maize has traditionally been cultivated as a kharif crop, but with new improved hybrids and irrigation facilities, it can grow effectively during rabi in many regions of the country. Among the different abiotic stresses, high temperature has drawn global attention due to its detrimental effects on crop development and productivity. In maize, heat stress during the reproductive phase causes poor seed germination and cellular alterations that increase the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damages proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, ultimately causing cell death. Different strategies, such as adaptation, avoidance and acclimatization, are available for plants to use in response to high temperature stress conditions. Heat stress tolerance is a complicated quantitative feature and for effective breeding programme mode of inheritance of the traits related with heat stress is very much important. New approaches are being developed to modify the expression of functionally related genes by modifying abiotic stress signalling pathways that control the expression of many genes that may contribute to stress tolerance. Different breeding approaches like conventional and non-conventional approaches to improve heat stress tolerance in maize are described in this chapter.
