Drought Tolerance in the Progeny of Interspecific Cotton Hybrids

The F2 and F3 progeny of interspecific cotton crosses were evaluated under field conditions. The plants were maintained under drip irrigation with stress applied by withholding water during plant development and early flowering periods. Physiological and biochemical plant responses were measured throughout the growing season on an array of representative plants from the field population. Considerable variability was found to exist among these progeny for all traits measured in both years of the present study. Responses of parental controls were quite consistent for both seasons.
