Highlights: [•] A model for predicting spikelet sterility by high temperature was constructed. [•] Heading date of panicles followed Poisson probability distribution. [•] Flowering date and time of spikelets on a panicle followed normal distribution. [•] Fertility decreased logistically with temperature rise at meiosis and flowering. [•] Model integrating the above equations well predicted the field spikelet sterility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
