Biochemical and morpho-physiological insights revealed low moisture stress adaptation mechanisms in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

Abstract excerpt

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a multipurpose crop. Abiotic stresses, especially extreme heat and drought, limit crop growth and thus reduce cotton yield by about 50%. In this study, 30 cotton genotypes were tested against low moisture stress in a pot experiment in triplicates along with control under wire house conditions. At the 3-4 leaf stage, different morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters were...
