Appearance of grains exposed to control and high-temperature conditions. A and B Grain chalkiness was formed when grains were harvested after being exposed to high-temperature in the grain filling stage. The rate of grain chalkiness increases rapidly when exposed to high temperatures. The chalkiness grain negatively affects the grain quality. C and D When subjected to high-temperature, chalkiness grains are formed in which the middle portion of the seed turned white. Chalkiness grains have a low amylose content and a change in starch composition. E and F under a microscope, when subjected to high-temperature in the grain filling stage, a crack occurs in the starch structure
