Abstract

The current study was designed to compare the performance of twelve cotton strains based on their key agronomic and fiber quality-related traits under heat stress conditions. The experiment was laid out under RCBD with three replicates and a 75 cm row-to-row distance was maintained. The data was recorded for plant height, nodes per plant, monopods per plant, sympods per plant, bolls per plant, CLCuV percentage, whitefly occurrence percentage, total chlorophyll contents, peroxidases, fiber length, fiber fineness, and cotton yield. The results revealed the occurrence of significant variations for agronomically important and fiber quality-related traits in cotton strains under heat stress conditions except for CLCuV percentage. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed a strong positive correlation of cotton yield between bolls per plant, nodes per plant, and sympods per plant. The PC-1/PC-2 based biplot analysis reconfirms the results obtained through the correlation analysis and further unveiled that most of the variations in the data were due to transpiration rate, peroxidases, sympods per plant, nodes per plant, bolls per plant, and fiber fineness. The cluster analysis categorizes twelve cotton strains into three clusters, comprising four strains each, respectively, and found that cotton strains GR-4, GR-9, GR-2, and GR-5 were the most productive strains under heat stress conditions. Therefore, these genotypes must be tested in multilocation trials and potential genotypes must be found for heat-prone areas.
