Herein, we propose a mechanistic model of HS development where water stress induces ABA as a primary signaling molecule that triggers the HS response mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Accumulation of ROS induces phenolic biosynthesis and oxidative stress promotes loss of membrane compartmentalization that induces phenolic degradation. Ultimately, husk scalding becomes visible due to the oxidation of phenolics into brown pigments. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
