Globally, increasing water and energy demand is expected to reach 6.9 trillion cubic meters by 2030, exceeding 40% of the available supplies. Climate change rising temperatures caused shortages due lesser irregular rainfalls, leading lower production crops. The research assess drought tolerance Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense.

Cotton is a potential and excellent candidate to balance both agricultural production remediation of mercury-contained soil, as its main fiber hardly involves into food chains. However, in cotton, there known rarely about the tolerance response mercury (Hg) environments. In this study, biochemical physiological damages, Hg concentrations (0, 1, 10, 50 100 µM), were investigated upland cotton se...
