Under rising temperature, the rate of any developmental process increased with temperature more rapidly than that of CO2 assimilation. We found that this discrepancy, summarised by the CO2 assimilation rate per unit of plant development, could explain the observed reductions in biomass accumulation in leaves and grain under high temperatures. This simple model describes the effects of night and day temperature equally well, and offers a simple framework for describing the effects of temperature on plant growth, without any supplementary effect of rising night temperatures.
