The high temperature during the grain-filling and development stage is expected to have pronounced effect on processing quality of cereals. For example, the study by changing transplantation date to expose the rice to variable temperature at the time grain filling and development was conducted. In this study revealed that early transplanted paddy experienced average maximum and minimum temperatures of 32.8 and 22.3°C, respectively, against 30.8 and 15°C, respectively, for delayed transplanted paddy. Early transplanted rice experienced higher temperature than delayed transplanted rice. Protein and lipid contents of milled rice increased and apparent amylose content and cooked grain hardness decreased with early transplantation due to exposure to high temperature during the grain-filling and development stage. The heat waves are going to change not only yield but processing quality of crops https://www.cerealsgrains.org/publications/cc/2014/July/Pages/91_4_389.aspx
