- Abstract
This study was conducted at University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Paksitan during the year 2018 to screen out 30 newly developed Bt cotton genotypes for water stress tolerance. Experiment was conducted in polythene bags under greenhouse conditions with two moisture levels i.e control (100% FC) and water shortage (50% FC) to screen out these genotypes on the basis of morpho-physiological parameters. Results depicted highly genotypic differences for each parameter for both treatments i.e. control (100%FC) and water stress (50%FC) conditions. Stress influenced all the genotypes for each parameter. However CIM-600, FH-114, CIM-602, CIM-606, IUB-222, MNH-456, FH-113 and MNH-142 demonstrated better performance under stressed conditions. It is finally recommended that these lines could be utilized as tolerant parent in the development of tolerant to water stress cultivars.
