Lyngby, Denmark Increased climatic variability is resulting in an increase of both the frequency and the Received: October 13, 2010 magnitude of extreme climate events. Therefore, cereals may be exposed to more than one Revised: January 10, 2011 stress event in the growing season, which may ultimately affect crop yield and quality. Here, Accepted: January 24, 2011 effects are reported of interaction of water deficits and/or a high-temperature event (321C) during vegetative growth (terminal spikelet) with either of these stress events applied during generative growth (anthesis) in wheat. Influence of combinations of stress on protein frac- tions (albumins, globulins, gliadins and glutenins) in grains a
