Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield is threatened by heat stress that impair pollen development and reduce reproductive success. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify tolerant genotypes by integrating physiological screening with molecular analysis of key pollen development genes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty cotton genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three...
