Abstract: Highlights: [•] Simulated wheat yields increased by on average 12% in response to climate change. [•] Climate change induced temperatures increase was the single most important factor. [•] In some areas climate change will involve hotter temperatures during flowering. [•] An increased risk of flower sterility and reduction in yield is the consequence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
