Summary
Cell suspension cultures of cotton (Gossypium hitirsutum L. cv. Coker 312) were exposed to various temperature:time treatments in order to select cell lines resistant to high temperature stress. Cells were exposed to 45°C for 3 h each day until the total accumulated hours of stress were: 0 h, 10 h, 75 h, 100 h, or 105 h (81 h pulsed then 24 h continuous). After the stress treatments, the cells were plated onto embryo development medium and plants were recovered. The embryogenic calli that were recovered were subcultured monthly for 6 months and tested for increased resistance to the temperature:time treatments previously determined to be lethal and to water stress as imposed by PEG. All of the selected cell lines were more resistant to both types of stress than the control cell lines. Leaf tissue of stress selected (Ro) formed and maintained callus growth when incubated at 38°C; whereas, tissue excised from nonselected controls rarely formed callus and calli which did form quickly became necrotic. These cells and plants will provide a tool for determining the mechanisms involved in resistance to high temperature stress.
