Cotton is essential for the global textile industry however, climate change, especially extreme temperatures, threatens sustainable cotton production. This research aims to identify breeding strategies improve heat tolerance and utilize stress-resistant traits in cultivars. study investigated 50 genotypes at seedling stage by examining various three temperatures (32 °C, 45 °C 48 °C) a randomized plot experiment. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all studied traits....

Human activities and climate change have resulted in frequent intense weather fluctuations, leading to diverse abiotic stresses on crops which hampers greatly their metabolic activities. Heat stress, a prevalent factor, significantly influences cotton plant biological resulting reducing yield production. We must deepen our understanding of how plants respond heat stress across various dimensions, encompassing genes, RNAs, proteins, metabolites for effective breeding. Multi-omics methods,...
