Evaluation of Techniques for Quantifying the Physiological Response of Cotton to High Temperature

چکیده
The cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has a very dynamic response to management and changes in the environment that often results in variable and unpredictable yields. Temperature plays a major role in the development of cotton yield. However, limited data are available describing the relationship between high temperature and cotton yield. In this study, it was hypothesized that there are numerous physiological and biochemical parameters that can be affected by elevated temperatures, but only a few of them will be both sensitive to high temperatures and easy to measure in large entry breeding trials.

Evaluation of Different Techniques for Quantifying the Physiological Response of Cotton under High Temperatures
Extreme variability in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yields from year to year, as well as a lack of any noticeable increases in yield over the past decade, has caused major concern for producers. Although yield is mainly controlled by genetics, environment, and cultural inputs, it is now believed that temperature is one of the major factors affecting the development of cotton yield. Our earlie...
متن کاملEvaluation of cotton fibers stickiness by colorimetric method
Stickiness is the physical process of contaminated lint adhering to equipment. The degree of stickiness depends on chemical identity, quantity, and distribution of the sugars. The sugar in cotton fibers may be insect or plant derived. There are several methods for measuring cotton fibers stickiness. In this work, a colorimetric method was used for the measurements. In the method, honeydew was c...

Selection of genotypes based on high value of heritability and forecasted genetic conditions would be an effective method for improvement of wheat cultivars. The present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic variability of agro-physiological characters using biometrical genetic techniques in 20 bread wheat genotypes under irrigated condition. For this purpose an experiment was c...
