Assessment of acquired thermo tolerance and genetic variability in cotton genotypes by Temperature Induction Response (TIR).

The article presents a study which assessed the genetic variability of cotton germplasm and land races using temperature induction response (TIR) to identify more sources for intrinsic tolerance and to identify the genotypes that combine temperature tolerance with tolerance of drought stresses. Topics include standardization of optimum induction temperature and challenging high temperature for cotton seedlings and percent mortality of cotton seedlings at different lethal temperatures.
