Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cotton is a non-edible fiber crop with considerable potential for the remediation of copper-polluted soil. However, the Cu toxicity tolerance mechanism in cotton remains largely obscure. To address the issue, we first identified two cotton lines contrasting in response to Cu toxicity by examining 12 morphological and physiological attributes of 43 origin scattered cotton genotypes under Cu excess....
