“…Conclusively, several DPMs have been identified that are unique to only heat-tolerant cultivar in several plant species. For example, in rice, the polyols, Myo-inositol, putrescine and glycerol (Lawas et al 2019); cysteine, serine, and threonine, cytokinin, uridine diphosphate glucose, coumarylalcohol, and α-l-rhamnose (Wada et al 2020); in lettuce, amino and organic acids, sugars, sesquiterpene lactones, sterols, and fatty acids derivatives (Wei et al 2020), in pepper, citrulline, serine, cysteine, glutamine, homocitrulline, alanine, and ornithine (Wang et al 2019) were significantly up-regulated and/or accumulated in heat-tolerant cultivars. Additionally, some examples have also been documented in Table 2.…”
