Integrating genetic assortment and molecular insights for climate-resilient breeding to unravel drought tolerance in cotton.

Abstract excerpt

This study addresses the challenges posed by rainfall variability, leading to water deficits during critical stages of crop growth, resulting in a drastic reduction of cotton yield. In a comprehensive evaluation, thirty cotton genotypes, including five Gossypium arboreum (wild) and twenty-five Gossypium hirsutum (cultivated), were grown under rainfed and irrigated conditions. Drought tolerance indices (DTI) were...
