Abstract—Maize breeding and improved options have made remarkable progress in increasing crop yields in novadays. However, global warming and climate change projections offer much yield losses will be occur in many regions. So global warming is an integral part of the maize production and because they are still prone or vulnerable to the effects of global warming is clear. Many researches showed that effects of global warming on plant mostly “physiological traits” and these were also reflected about its production. In this study, we examined the effect of global warming on maize physiology and explained with relevant examples.
