Abstract Salinization leads to several worldwide damages in agricultural regions, mainly in semiarid regions where leaching of salt is poor due to limited and erratic rainfall. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a Malvaceae with wide genetic variability to salt stress. The identification of salinity tolerant genotypes is a dynamic target in a breeding program, and the selection is often based on plant phenotypes. Molecular markers are reliable tools to aid in these selection procedures. Aquaporin (AQPs) are channel proteins that play fundamental role in water relations and tolerance to environmental stresses. Plants have fine regulation of water transport through AQPs activities. In order to evaluate the AQP expressions of different cotton cultivars submitted to salt stress, we use molecular and physiological tools, based on RT-qPCR and gas exchange assays. Seven cultivars were submitted to 95 mM NaCl, started at V3 stage (21 days after emergence), during 72 h. At the end of stress treatment, root tissues were used to total RNA extraction, followed by cDNA synthesis and RT-qPCR analyzes. Three sets of specific primers were used, drawn from AQP accessions deposited in NCBI. Additionally, full expanded leaves were used to gas exchange assays and to estimate the relative water content. The dry matter of the shoots was also evaluated. Based on pattern of AQPs transcripts, we found that all semiarid tolerant cultivars (BRS Seridó, 7MH, CNPA MT 2009 152 and BRS 416) showed downregulation of AQP subtypes, mainly GhPIP1;1 and GhTIP2;1 whose action is characterized as tolerant to salinity. The results of gas exchanges, relative water content and dry matter were consistent with the molecular findings in these cultivars, confirming that GhPIP1;1 and GhTIP2;1, located at plasma membrane and vacuoles, respectively, could be adopted as AQP markers for identification of cotton tolerant to salt stress.

Regression analysis of field data has indicated that minimum daily temperatures below 11°C delay the development of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings beyond what would be expected based on the accumulated degree-day sum. In Australian cotton production systems, events where the minimum daily temperature falls below this value are referred to as ‘cold shocks’. The number of cold shocks is used by growers and advisors in assessing retardation of crops in their areas. However, this effect has not been tested explicitly. The aim of this work was to empirically assess effects of cold shock on pre-flower development of cotton plants. Cotton seedlings were grown in controlled-temperature glasshouses. Plants were transferred to cold chambers ranging from 5 to 22°C during the night period for durations from 3 to 10 days. Negative effects were not seen until plants had been exposed to at least 10 nights at 10°C, or for at least 5 nights at 5°C. When differences were generated it did not delay development to first square any more than 4 days, nor was the effect consistent. These differences translated into delays to first flower, but had little effect on plant morphology, or on dry weight measured soon after flowering. In one experiment, a significant reduction in leaf photosynthesis was measured at two times of day on the day after cold shock at 5°C. Improving understanding of the effects of temperature extremes on cotton growth and development will help in developing more functional decision-support tools and field management strategies.

O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, utilizando-se vasos plásticos contendo 8,5 kg de terra, na qual foi aplicado NaCl  em quantidades suficientes para elevar o  nível  de condutividade elétrica  de  0 para próximos de 8, 16 e 24 dS . m-1 a 25° C. Todos os vasos receberam aplicações de 150 mg P. kg-1 solo, solução nutritiva contendo 30 mg N e 40 mg K . kg-1 solo e, semanalmente, solução diluída de micronutrientes.O solo foi avaliado pela Relação de Adsorção de Sódio (RAS) e Relação de Sódio Trocável (RST), através de amostras coletadas dos vasos, ao final do experimento.Pelos dos resultados constatou-se que a elevação na concentração de sódio na solução no solo, além de reduzir o potencial osmótico da solução do solo, reduziu a absorção de potássio, cálcio e magnésio e a produção de matéria seca por todos os cultivares de algodão. UNITERMOS: algodão, salinidade, sódio.  QUEIROZ, S.O.P., BÜLL, L.T.
