Abstract: Extreme weather, especially heat injury of high temperature occurs more frequently with the increase of global warming. It would have great significance to study the mechanism of effect of high temperature on rice growth and countermeasures to reduce damage of the high temperature for promoting rice production. This paper reviewed the effects of high temperature on rice yield and grain quality and its physiological mechanism involved from the aspects of photosynthetic characteristics, dry matter accumulation, metabolic enzymes, hormones and resistance materials. Specific defense measures to reduce the harm of high temperature and advice for further studies were discussed with the consideration of global warming in future.
