Abstract

The synthesis of heat-related proteins in six cotton cultivars was examined. The protein profiles of heat-stressed plants were highly cultivar specific. Heat-related proteins did not result from protein degradation. Recovery to normal protein synthesis occurred within an hour after the heat-stress was terminated.
