Yield and quality responses of two indica rice hybrids to post-anthesis asymmetric day and night open-field warming in lower reaches of Yangtze River delta.

Highlights: [•] We simulated low emission scenario (B1) of global warming in rice paddies. [•] Day, night and dield warming treatments were imposed. [•] Impact of nighttime warming was greater than the daytime warming. [•] Greater reduction in head rice recovery under nighttime warming than the daytime warming. [•] Rice hybrids tested showed varying degree of susceptibility to day and night warming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
