Maize, third most important staple cereal crop across
the globe, has been threatened with different environmental
constraints including heat and water deficit stress. Higher
environmental temperatures negatively affect the most at
anthesis, silking and grain filling reproductive phenophases.
The situation is further complicated by the variable climatic
events, resulting in gradual and sometimes sudden increase
in environmental temperature followed by irregular rain
frequency and intensity, and thus posing a serious threat to
global food security. To meet the ever increasing food
demand there is an urgent need to develop climate resilient
maize varieties and the goal can be achieved by exploiting
the pertinent physiological, biochemical and molecular
mechanisms. By introducing certain modifications, together
these mechanisms can help us to combat the negative impact
of high temperature stress. This review encompasses many
of such physiological and molecular approaches which may
help in mitigating the adverse effects of heat stress on maize
yield. Molecular, biochemical and physiological knowledge
available in domain that may be employed in breeding
approaches to develop heat tolerant maize genotypes, has
thoroughly been discussed.
