Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important crop in several parts of the world, which is highly
sensitive to environmental stresses. In the last century, carbon dioxide concentration [CO 2] …

Progress has been significant in climate science and the direct and indirect influences of
climate on agricultural productivity. With the likely growth of the world's population toward 10 …

Growing conditions for crops such as coffee and wine grapes are shifting to track climate
change. Research on these crop responses has focused principally on impacts to food …

Assessing plant population of cotton is important to make replanting decisions in low plant
density areas, prone to yielding penalties. Since the measurement of plant population in the …

Climatic models indicated that in this century, both average temperatures and extreme
events frequency will increase in the Mediterranean basin. These changes are expected to …

Temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2] affect cotton (Gossypium
hirsutum L.) growth and development, but the interaction of these two factors on boll and …

Diagnostic methods assaying leaf optical properties can aid rapid site‐specific screening of
crop nitrogen status. A set of calibration curves relating many 1.5‐nm band reflectance ratios …

Responses of stomata to environment have been intensively studied, but little is known of
genetic effects on stomatal conductance or their consequences. In Pima cotton (Gossypium …

High night temperatures are considered to be one of the main environmental factors
contributing to lowered yields in cotton and this has been attributed to a negative effect on …

Cotton breeding programs have focused on agronomically-desirable traits. Without targeted
selection for tolerance to high temperature extremes, cotton will likely be more vulnerable to …
