Drought tolerance was assessed using physiological traits and cell membrane stability in cotton.
Three physiological parameters revealed that CRIS-134, BH-184, and FH-114 are the most drought-tolerant genotypes.
Assessment involved 68 upland cotton genotypes, focusing on relative water content and excised leaf water content.
Findings indicate that screening for drought tolerance can enhance breeding methods for cotton in drought-prone areas.

Discussion

Assessment shows drought tolerance in upland cotton genotypes, suggesting cell membrane stability as a key factor.

Nauman et al. (2024) studied this question.
