Abstract
The major staple food crops, such as rice, wheat, maize, potato, barley and sorghum, and grain legumes, oilseeds, and many vegetable crops are variously adapted to current climatic zones around the world. All of these crops differ in optimum temperatures for growth and harvestable yield, and, also in temperature limitations for critical growth phases, such as pre-anthesis grain filling in cereals.
